DSL

DSL (which stands for Digital Subscriber Line) is a broadband technology that transforms ordinary phone lines (also known as "twisted copper pairs") into high-speed digital lines for ultra-fast, dedicated Internet access. ADSL (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line), the most popular subtype of DSL, is available through Qwest as well as through other ISPs. DSL modems use digital coding techniques to squeeze up to 99% more capacity out of a phone line without interfering with your regular phone services. That means you could be simultaneously talking on the phone or sending a fax - while surfing the World Wide Web. DSL availability is generally dictated by where you live.

News: Qwest DSL is finally available in Nederland! No more depending on sketchy wireless connections, and everyone can get it, not just folks with line-of-sight access. Here's a link for more information: Qwest Choice DSL 256K
