What is the difference between ADSL, SDSL, DSL, and xDSL Technology?
DSL, also known as xDSL, is the family name for all Digital Subscriber Line technologies. The term DSL encompasses products such as ADSL, SDSL, IDSL, HDSL, VDSL, RDSL, and many more. Currently the DSL technology used by Pacific Bell Internet Services is ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line). ADSL is a transport that typically allows faster flow of information downstream than it allows for flow of information upstream.
