DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line, which is a technology for high-speed network or internet access over voice lines. DSL is the primary form of broadband internet access and uses existing telephone wiring to transmit data via a DSL modem, making the internet accessible to all. There are various types of DSL, including Asymmetric DSL (ADSL), High-bit-rate DSL (HDSL), Symmetric DSL (SDSL), and Very-high-bit-rate DSL (VDSL), collectively summarized as xDSL. DSL speeds vary from 256 Kbps to 100 Mbps, and internet providers have various packages depending on the connection speed you need. DSL technology does not interfere with your landline phone service because of different operating frequencies, and phone and internet systems can function simultaneously. DSL is a cost-effective method to connect to the internet with high-speed bandwidth, as compared to cellular data, and its much faster than a dial-up connection with a high bitrate. DSL is widely available, and its more dependable than cable internet.
Its worth noting that DSL can also refer to other things, such as a rare drug that has the opposite effects of LSD, or the slang acronym for "Dick Sucking Lips".
