ADSL

ADSL stands for 'asymmetric DSL' - the term 'asymmetric' indicates that ADSL allows information to be downloaded more quickly than it is uploaded. This makes it particularly suitable for Internet surfing and for downloading files, music, pictures and sports clips. ADSL is ideal for home and small business use.
