There are in fact three variants of DSL, each with different features, summarized as follows:
1. ADSL-Asymmetric DSL, the most common form of DSL, has much higher download speeds (from
Internet to your PC) than upload speeds (from your PC to the Internet). ADSL can have download
speeds of up to 8 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1 Mbps. ADSL works best when your location
is within about two and a half miles (12,000 feet) of your central office. ADSL service is priced
according to the download and upload speeds you want.
2. IDSL-ISDN DSL (ISDN is an older technology called (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a
special type of DSL that works at distances of up to five miles between your phone and the central
office. The downside is that IDSL only offers downstream and upstream speeds of up to 144 Kbps.
3. SDSL-Symmetric DSL provides the equal download and upload speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps. SDSL is
priced according to the speed you want, with the higher speeds costing more. The closer your
location is to the phone company's central office, the faster the connection you can get.
