ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for transmitting digital information at high bandwidths on existing telephone lines to homes and businesses. ADSL simultaneously accommodates both analog (voice) and digital data on the same line. Unlike regular dial-up telephone services, ADSL provides a continuously available connection. ADSL is asymmetric in that it uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to receive information from the user. ADSL is generally offered at downstream data rates from 512Kbps to about 6Mbps.
