The DSL Difference: Speed Demonstration

Let us show you our DSL vs dial-up speed demo. Speed comparisons are based on the following throughput (download) speeds — 32 Kbps for 56 Kbps modem and 320 Kbps for 768 Kbps DSL.
 
The DSL speeds that you will experience will vary based on a variety of factors.
  • Length of your telephone line
  • Condition of telephone wiring inside and outside your location
  • Computer configuration
  • Network or Internet congestion
  • Server and router speeds of the Web sites you access
  • Other factors

Connection speed is the speed that data is transferred between your computer and the Verizon Central Office. Download speed refers to the rate that information is transferred from the Internet to your computer. It is the speed at which you receive data. If you are reading a Web page, bringing a program to your PC from an outside source, or receiving e-mail, you are downloading. No DSL service can guarantee connection speed. Upload speed refers to the rate that information is transferred from your computer to the Internet. When you are sending e-mail or sending files, you are uploading.
