Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, is a family of technologies, used to provide a digital connection between a home or office user's telephone (and PC) and the local telephone exchange. DSL still uses the same copper cables that ordinary analogue phones use. The different types of DSL connection are mainly differentiated by the bit-rate or bandwidth of the connection. ADSL, or Asymmetric DSL, gets its name from the fact that the upstream bandwidth (from the user to the exchange) and downstream bandwidth (from the exchange to the user) are different. Usually, the downstream bandwidth will be much higher than the upstream bandwidth.

When you obtain an ADSL line to your home or office, it is still possible to connect an analogue telephone on the same phone line, and to use your phone at the same time that you are connected to the Internet.

ADSL is what is known as an 'always on' technology. This means that you do not have to 'dial up' a call to connect to the Internet. Your ADSL line is always connected to the local telephone exchange, and is always available. Your telephone company (e.g. Telkom) and your Internet Service Provider may, however, logically disconnect your session after a while, so that you have to log in again. Unlike dial-up connections, you do not have to pay, based on the amount of time that you are connected - your monthly line rental provides for continuous availability of access.

Note - It is vital that you have a Firewall implemented and that you subscribe to an Anti-Virus solution which protects ALL your PC's and Servers, due to the fact that you will always be connected to the Internet.
