DSL Advantages
DSL has a lot of advantages over other lines of connectivity, especially dial up. Here we look at some of the principal advantages of DSL :

DSL simultaneously keeps your Internet connection and phone lines open. So whilst you are browsing, you can receive or make phone calls. In theory, this means that you will not incur any telephone charges for keeping your internet open if you are not making a call.

You can have speeds higher than you can have with a regular modem. A regular modem may give you up to 56 kbps but a DSL can offer up to 1.5 Mbps.

Downloads are faster than uploads which makes it ideal for situations where you need a high volume of incoming data at low volume of outbound data. Email users, news readers and researchers will find DSL as a viable option when it comes to internet connectivity.

DSL uses the existing wiring infrastructure of your telephone lines. You do not need to get new cabling to hook up to the service. There is no need to acquire new infrastructure or upgrades.

DSL is secure. Unlike cable modems, each subscriber is given a separate network so that vulnerabilities and intrusions are minimized.

DSL is always on. Unlike dial up, you do not have to connect ad reconnect over time.
