(Asymmetric digital subscriber line) ADSL is the most widely deployed form of DSL technology. Most homes and small businesses currently using DSL technology use ADSL.
ADSL offers differing upload and download speeds and can be configured to deliver up to 6 Mbps from the network to the customer that is up to 120 times faster than dialup service and 100 times faster than ISDN. ADSL enables both voice and high speed data to be sent simultaneously over existing phone lines. This type of DSL is the most predominant in commercial use for business and residential customers around the world. ...

(Asymmetric
Digital Subscriber Line) A data communications technology that transmits data
over existing copper telephone lines to the customer's home and/or business.
Requires modems at either end. Different from other types of DSL; information is
sent faster in one direction than the other (asymmetric).
Asymmetric
Digital Subscriber Line: Modems attached to twisted pair copper wiring that
transmit from 1.5Mbps to 9Mbps downstream (to the subscriber) and from 16Kbps to
800Kbps upstream, depending on line distance.
ADSL stands for
Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line, and is a way of making use of existing
analogue telephone lines to provide high-speed digital Internet access. As the
connection is asynchronous, the download speed is typically higher than the
upload speed, with upload speeds typically limited to around 256kb/s, despite
download speeds of up to 2Mb/s
The variation
called ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is the form of DSL that will
become most familiar to home and small business users. ADSL is called
"asymmetric" because most of its two-way or duplex bandwidth is devoted to the
downstream direction, sending data to the user. Only a small portion of
bandwidth is available for upstream or user-interaction messages. ...
What is ADSL?
A DSL line where the upload speed is different from the download speed.
Usually the download speed is much greater.
(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop). High speed Internet access using the
telephone line. It uses line-adaptive modulation and provides data speeds
from 384kbps to 1.5 Mbps (upstream and downstream speeds are usually
different). Unlike the dial up, it doesn't block the telephone line.
Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, a new technology that allows
more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines.
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
ADSL is a data communications technology that can “piggyback” a standard
voice telephone connection and a high-speed (up to 8Mbps) digital data link
on to a single pair local loop connections to a customer premises. ADSL
technology is an asymmetric technology, meaning that the speed of the
digital link to a customer premises is generally not the same speed as the
connection coming back. ...
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. Delivers and receives information on
current telephone lines at higher bandwidth speeds. ADSL is a new form of
Internet connection rapidly growing in the US.
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line: Technology that allows data to be sent
over existing copper phone lines. An ADSL connection is ten times faster
than a standard phone modem connection.
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) -- A method for moving data over regular
phone lines. An ADSL circuit is much faster than a regular phone connection,
and the wires coming into the subscriber's premises are the same (copper)
wires used for regular phone service. An ADSL circuit must be configured to
connect two specific locations, similar to a leased line. ...
