Well I have a unique connection to the internet in my house. I use ADSL technology. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL). This is a form of DSL, data communication that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone line " I have a fixed line in my house" than a conventional voiceband modem can provide. It does this by utilizing frequencies that are normally not used by a voice telephone call, in particular, frequencies higher than normal human rearing. This siganl will DOES not travel far, i,e less than 5km. Once the signal reaches the telephone company's local office, the ADSL signal is stripped odd and immediately routed onyo conventional phone network " land line" This allows a single telephone connection to be used for both ADSL services and voice calls at the same time.
The distiquishing xctics od ADSL oover other forms od DSL is that the voulume of data flow is greater in one direction than the other i.e assymetric. Proiders usually market ADSL as a service for consumers to connect to the INTERNET in a realtively passive mode i.e able to to use the higher speed direction for the "downlaod" from the internetyt but not needing to run servers that would require high speed in other direction.
HOW IT WORKS:ON copper Wire
ADSL usees 2 separate frequency band, i.e upstream and downstream bands. The upstream is used for communication from the end user to the telephone central office. The downsrtream band is used for communicating from the cental office to the end user. ie band ranges from 25.875 khz - 138khz for upstream and 138khz-1104khz for downstram communication.

I too use DSL connection. I think that its better to use bcuz in this way, our phone line does n't get busy & if anyone wants to contact with us, he/she may do it easily. Phone does n't has signals problems like mobiles & 2ndly, DSL speed is much better than modem speed & it saves my time.
