What is DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)?

DSL is a broadband internet connection that uses traditional telephone lines to deliver internet. It’s widely available and a good option for basic internet needs.

Key Features of DSL:

• Affordable – usually lower cost compared to other Internet.
• Good for basic usage – ideal for browsing, emailing, and light streaming.
• Easy installation – uses existing phone lines.

DSL uses your existing telephone line to provide internet access. It splits the phone line so that both voice and internet can work at the same time.

How DSL Works:

• Uses copper wires from the telephone exchange to your home.
• Speeds are typically lower and can decrease the farther your home is from the exchange.

Advantages of DSL:

• Cost-effective – usually cheaper than fiber.
• Widely available – can be installed almost anywhere with phone lines.
• No new wiring – installation is quick and easy.

Ideal for:

• Light internet users – browsing, checking email, social media
• Budget-conscious users
• Areas where fiber is not yet available
