DSL Topics

Welcome to DSL.On-Topic.net!

Introducing DSL Topics. DSL refers to "(digital subscriber line) a technology that exploits unused frequencies on copper telephone lines to transmit traffic typically at multi-megabit speeds. DSL can allow voice and high-speed data to be sent simultaneously over the same line. Because the service is 'always available,' end-users don't need to dial in or wait for call set-up. With DSL you are wired for speed.
Asymmetric flavors
Asymmetrical variations include: ADSL, G.lite ADSL (or simply G.lite), VDSL (ITU G.993.1) and VDSL2 (ITU G.993.2). The standard forms of ADSL (ITU G.992.3, G.992.5, and ANSI T1.413-Issue 2) are all built upon the same technical foundation, Discrete Multi Tone (DMT). The suite of ADSL standards facilitates interoperability between all standard forms of ADSL."
