ADSL - Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line
The phone company's answer to cable modems and in the future even an alternative to ISDN . An ADSL circuit connects two specific locations (similar to a leased line ) but it is much faster than a regular phone connection. In theory ADSL allows download speeds of up to 9 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 640 Kbps.

ADSL Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a form of DSL, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional voiceband modem can provide. It does this by utilizing frequencies that are not used by a voice telephone call. A splitter - or microfilter - allows a single telephone connection to be used for both ADSL service and voice calls at the same time. Because phone lines vary in quality and were not originally engineered with ADSL in mind, it can generally only be used over short distances, typically less than 3mi (5 km).
