A
new technology called Digital Subscriber
Line (DSL) is rapidly changing the way we think about
existing telephone lines. Once considered unusable for broadband
communications, the ordinary copper lines which currently come
into your home or office can now be equipped with DSL hardware.
These lines can then transmit streaming music and video, dense
graphics, very high speed data downloads, and many other new
applications currently being developed.

connection. Imagine that! Exactly what you've been dreaming
