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.
