Definición

  • The copper-wire-based digital subscriber line (DSL) service is one of the two main competing forms of broadband Internet connectivity, the other being cable. (Wireless and satellite broadband services are not commercially available, although both show some promise.) DSL differs significantly from cable in its technology, which is based on copper twisted-pair wires, not fiber-based coaxial cables. [Source: Encyclopedia of New Media; Digital Subscriber Line]
