	Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
		DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a relatively new method of achieving high speed internet access using the existing twisted copper pair telephone lines which currently provide conventional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) from the subscribers premises to the central office.
		High-speed data service over existing lines is possible because of the electrical characteristics of the copper line, which, if the line is not too long, permit useful signals to be transmitted over a band of frequencies as high as one megahertz.
		When a new line is required in any one building at a future date the subscriber is simply connected to the "bridged tap" which was fortuitously installed when line installation crews were available in the past.

	Digital subscriber line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DSL or xDSL, is a family of technologies that provide digital data transmission over the wires of a local telephone network.
		Digital Subscriber Line technology was originally implemented as part of the ISDN specification.
		DSL is the principal competition of cable modems for providing high speed Internet access to home consumers in Europe and North America.

	Digital Subscriber Line
		Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology is a modem technology that uses existing twisted-pair telephone lines to transport high-bandwidth data, such as multimedia and video, to service subscribers.
		Line attenuation increases with line length and frequency, and decreases as wire diameter increases.
		ISDN digital subscriber line (IDSL) is a cross between ISDN and xDSL.

	Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL) FAQ v20010108 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		DSL refers to the technology used between a customer's premises and the telephone company, enabling more bandwidth over the already installed copper cabling than users have traditionally had.
		Digital methods are used as long as frequency response (bandwidth) is not a limitation.
		Depending on the DSL provider, you may either be assigned one or more static IP addresses for your end hosts or you may be required to use the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) to obtain a valid IP address while you are connected to the Internet.

	Digital Subscriber Line (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A DSL line can carry both data and voice signals and the data part of the line is continuously connected.
		Digital Subscriber Line is a technology that assumes digital data does not require change into analog form and back.
		Digital data is transmitted to your computer directly as digital data and this allows the phone company to use a much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to you.

	Digital Subscriber Line
		Digital Subscriber Line is a technology based on the idea that data transmitted over twisted pair (P.O.T.S.) lines does not need to be converted from digital to analog and then back to digital, which is how modems work.
		Instead the data is transmitted across the lines as digital data, which allows the phone company to use much wider bandwith in transmitting the data.
		Line quality is a measure of the signal-to-noise ratio on a given line.

	Howstuffworks "How DSL Works"
		DSL is a very high-speed connection that uses the same wires as a regular telephone line.
		DSL exploits this "extra capacity" to carry information on the wire without disturbing the line's ability to carry conversations.
		Symmetric DSL (SDSL) - This connection, used mainly by small businesses, doesn't allow you to use the phone at the same time, but the speed of receiving and sending data is the same.

	DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) (Linktionary term)
		DSL is a technology that provides high-speed data transmissions over the so-called "last-mile" of "local-loop" of the telephone network, i.e., the twisted copper wire that connects home and small office users to the telephone company central offices (COs).
		DSL technologies can enhance copper wire infrastructure to be the most effective way of delivering broadband services to the greatest number of people.
		DSL Lite (or G.Lite) DSL Lite is considered a "jump-start" technology that is meant to deliver DSL to the greatest number of users, as fast as possible.

	DSL - Glossary - CNET.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Digital subscriber lines carry data at high speeds over standard copper telephone wires.
		With DSL, data can be delivered at a rate of 1.5 mbps (around 30 times faster than through a 56-kbps modem).
		Currently, DSL is expensive because specialized equipment--a splitter--needs to be installed at the subscriber's location.

	Verio High-Speed Internet Service
		DSL is technology backed by telephone companies to provide next generation high bandwidth services to the home and business using the existing telephone cabling infrastructure.
		DSL to the home over existing phone lines currently provides bandwidths up to 1.5Mbps in the San Francisco Bay area.
		DSL technologies use a greater range of frequencies over the cable than traditional telephone services which in turn allow for greater bandwidth with which to send and receive information.

	IT Services: Remote SUNet Access over DSL
		Students living off campus are also eligible to subscribe to the service and are themselves responsible for all associated one-time and monthly charges (an overview of DSL service for students is at http://www.stanford.edu/services/dsl/students/).
		Since the SUNet DSL line provides a SUNet connection similar to the network jack that your campus office computer plugs into, setting up the software in your computer for a DSL connection is just as easy as configuring a computer for an on-campus Ethernet connection.
		Therefore, it is the responsibility of all DSL subscribers to observe the University's Computer Security Guidelines for their DSL-connected equipment, as well as their on-campus desktop equipment.

		DSL exploits this remaining capacity to carry information on the wire without disturbing the line's ability to carry conversations.
		DSLAMs are generally flexible and able to support multiple types of DSL, as well as provide additional functions such as routing and dynamic IP address assignment for customers.
		DSL is a distance-sensitive technology: As the connection's length increases, the signal quality and connection speed decrease.

	Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
		VDSL is still in the definition stage; some preliminary products exist, but not enough is known yet about telephone line characteristics, radio frequency interface emissions and susceptibility, upstream multiplexing protocols, and information requirements to frame a set of definitive, standardizable properties.
		This is unknown because real line characteristics at the frequencies required for VDSL are speculative, and items such as short bridged taps or unterminated extension lines in homes, which have no effect on telephony, ISDN, or ADSL, may have very detrimental affects on VDSL in certain configurations.
		As line length shrinks, either from natural proximity to a central office or deployment of fiber-based access nodes, ADSL and VDSL simply offer more channels and capacity for services that require rates above T1/E1 (such as digital live television and virtual CD-ROM access).

	DSL (digital subscriber line)
		Early DSL standards entailed installing a signal splitter at the customer premises to separate the voice and data as well as a "DSL modem" to connect the user's PC to the data-stream.
		At the telco office, a digital subscriber line access multiplexer, or DSLAM, served as the connection between the individual DSL streams and the backbone network.
		In fact, DSL is often known as "xDSL" to account for the many flavors of DSL that have arrived on the scene.
