DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. This "always on" Internet connection comes in a range of speeds and allows you to access the Internet at speeds up to 50 times faster than a dial-up connection. Why DSL? It's Actually Cheaper, When you factor in the cost of your current Internet Service Provider ($21.95) and the cost of a second phone line ($30.00), both of which you will no longer need, it's actually cheaper to surf the net at DSL speed. 

You get fast and unlimited connection time for a fix monthly fee, so you can shop, chat, or just window shop the Web as long as you want, with no extra phone or access charges.
