DSL (Digital Subscriber
Line) is broadband technology that provides high-speed
data transmission (up to 7.1 Mbps) over an existing telephone
line. Speeds are up to 50 times faster than a standard
28.8 Kbps dial-up modem. Plus, DSL Service is instant
- with one click you have a lightning-fast connection
to the Internet.
Verizon's line of DSL products are called Infospeed
DSL. The technology requires that your customer (end
user) be within 16,000 to 18,000 feet of a DSL-equipped
central office.
With DSL, your customers use a single telephone line
for high-speed data communications, including uploading
and downloading multimedia. They can also use the same
line simultaneously for voice or faxing.
Connections to Internet service providers or corporate
LANs are virtually continuous. There are no call setup
delays or busy signals. A single click on an icon provides
an immediate connection. Employees working from home
can access their company's data network quickly and
efficiently with the speed afforded by DSL service.
DSL technology also provides broadband connectivity
for high-speed services such as video-on-demand, home
shopping and distance learning.
