What Is DSL?

Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, is a family of technologies that provide a digital connection over the existing copper wires of the local telephone network.

Its origin dates back to 1988, when an engineer at Bell Labs devised a way to carry a digital signal over the unused frequency spectrum. This allows an ordinary phone line to provide digital communication without blocking access to voice services.
