DSL or broadband?

Broadband is a high speed Internet connection. DSL - Digital Subscriber Line DSL is also a broadband which uses telephone line to connect to internet. you can use your phone without getting disconnected. it is a better alternative then the dial-up connection. Alternative will be wireless broadband. No cables.

hi, this two internet provider have differences,and i could say that DSL is more good rather than to broadband when it comes to speed,it because DSL is a wired internet and the internet speed is stable unlike the broadband because it will only vary to signal it has in a place.

'Broadband' simply means 'faster than dial-up' (in this context). Dial-up involved dialling a particular number on your landline phone (to which your computer was connected with a modem) and using the audio signal to transmit data. Because the data is transmitted by audio tones (very much like a fax), it is very limited in speed (about 56Kbps) and so very slow. 'Broadband' refers to a number of different ways of transmitting data, one of which (Digital Subscriber Line) still uses a phone line but transmits at a far higher frequency. A filter is used to separate data transmissions and audio transmissions so that the same line can be used simultaneously for data and for voice calls. ADSL stands for 'Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line' and nearly all DSL connections are ADSL. It simply means that data is downloaded to the subscriber at a faster rate than the subscriber sends data to the server. Other broadband methods of data communication are by optical cable, wireless (often on the same band as used for mobile phones, when it is called GSM) and by satellite (where signals from one station are sent to a satellite which relays them back to a remote location).
