dsl">DSL Broadband Internet AccessDSL Broadband Internet InformationDSL and cable broadband are the two most common types of broadband connections. These two connections provide customers with the efficiency and convenience of high-speed Internet in their own home along with an assurance that their Internet connection will be reliable. Since most cable companies and local phone companies provide broadband services, it is possible to have one bill for your TV and Internet or your phone and Internet. Important Things to Remember About DSL Services1. DSL Broadband is an Internet connection that shares the same cable as your telephone. It still provides you with “always on” Internet access without having to dial-up. 2. Although your local phone company might provide DSL broadband, it’s also a good idea to check other providers for a better deal. Always make sure that the company you decide to go with provides customer service. 3. DSL is distance sensitive, meaning that the farther away from the central office you are, the less desirable your connection will be. 4. One of the main perks of DSL is that, since each subscriber has high-speed Internet through their own phone line, they are not sharing bandwidth with anyone else and therefore, the quality of their Internet connection is not compromised during peak usage times (5 p.m. – 11 p.m.). 5. Sometimes, older phone lines cannot sustain the information that needs to be transmitted at the speed it needs to be transmitted in order for a DSL broadband connection to work properly. Check with your provider to make sure you are DSL equipped. DSL Broadband GlossaryNow you know the important facts about DSL broadband, but are you up to date on the latest DSL lingo?
