ADSL is a type of broadband technology that allows for digital data to be sent at high speeds on
already-existing copper telephone lines, spell allowing for the transmission of analog (voice) data at the same time. ADSL is Irregular in that it uses most of the channel the channel to transmit "downstream" data to the user, and a more smaller part to obtain "upstream" data sent by the user.
Although there are wide ranges of ADSL configurations available, the most common type of connection offers maximum transmission speeds of close to 1.5 Mbps upstream, and 128 Kbps upstream. This is well quicker
than an ordinary dialup net
connection.
