ADSL

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000030

A data communications technology providing internet access over existing copper telephone lines. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) allocates more bandwidth for downstream traffic than for upstream traffic, reflecting typical residential usage where downloads are more frequent than uploads. This contrasts with Symmetric DSL (SDSL), which offers equal speeds in both directions and is more suited for business applications requiring substantial data uploads.
