 How DSL Works
DSL is a technology that turns ordinary phone lines into high speed Internet connections.
Why does dial-up service only offer speeds up to 56 Kbps?
DSL is different from dial-up because digital coding techniques are used to squeeze up to 99% more capacity out of a phone line without interfering with your regular phone services.
Your (A) computers are connected to the (B) DSL router. The router is then wired to the (C) DSL line, which the phone company installs at your business or home location. Finally, that line is connected via phone lines to the (D) provider's Central Office. Finally, your provider connects you through their network to the Internet (E).
