DSL Technology And Some DSL Service Providers

Digital Subscriber Line or DSL is a technology provided by dedicated DSL service providers. DSL provides the facility of digital transmission of data over telephone lines. It was first termed as Digital Subscriber Loop. The data download speed of DSL services ranges from 256 Kbps to 24,000 Kbps. The download speed depends up on the technology used, conditions of the telephone lines used for transmission and some other factors. DSL technology was originally implemented under ISDN specifications. Lately it was implemented under IDSL specifications. Basically digital communication via DSL technology consists the following:

* A source of information that generates the message. * A medium of communication like a channel that will help to carry the message from one destination to the other. * A transmitter that converts the message in to a signal and carries it through the way of channel to the destination. * A receiver that receives the signal and converts it back in to the message at the receiving end. * The ultimate destination of the message where it was intended to reach.
