How do I get DSL Service?

DSL is also known as xDSL, with the ‘x’ standing for various kinds of DSL technologies. These technologies differ in the connect speed and connection (asymmetric or symmetric) they provide.

Today there is a pent up demand for higher access speeds and only xDSL can practically provide these speeds. Today's analog modems routinely offer 28.8 Kbps or 33.6 Kbps and, in a few but growing number of instances, up to 56kbps. However, 56 Kbps is probably the practical limit for analog modems. ISDN can increase this to 128 Kbps but this is still slow compared to xDSL speeds of up to 2 Mbps. xDSL is opening a whole new world of virtually instantaneous downloading of massive graphics and even video applications over the Internet.
