What is DSL?
DSL used to refer only to a high-speed land line connection that used existing copper lines that were already installed in the home or business. Now, however, DSL has grown to be a more generic term meaning any high-speed connection (usually to the Internet). DSL can come in the traditional form but also can come in the form of wireless, cable and satellite.

How long does it take to get installed?
This depends a lot the provider and the technology. Traditional DSL usually take 3-6 weeks and depends a lot on how long the phone company takes to provision the line for DSL service. Cable, Satellite and Wireless DSL usually can be installed as quickly as the same day but can depend of the scheduling of people to install it or if they have all of the equipment installed.

What is needed to get DSL installed?
Traditional DSL requires the phone company to provision the line and DSL equipment to be installed at each end of the line. Cable DSL is usually provided by your cable company and usually requires the installation of a cable modem. Satellite DSL requires the mounting of a satellite dish, installing a satellite modem card into your computer and running a cable between the dish and the modem. Wireless DSL usually requires the installation of an antenna on your house or building and running an antenna cable to a wireless router. In each of these cases, your computer may need a network card or USB port to connect. Some additional wiring may be needed to connect multiple computers together or for longer runs of cable to get to your computer.

Can I get DSL in my area?
DSL is typically not available in all areas. With traditional DSL, this depends on how far you are from your phone companies central office (CO). Central offices are places where all the wires come back and are hooked up in a building. There usually are many central offices located throughout a city or town. Traditional DSL requires that the provider put DSL equipment at your home and the central office and run the bandwidth back to their office. This can get expensive to deploy in many locations and depends on the quality of the phone lines and the distance from the central office. Satellite DSL usually requires a line-of-sight to the satellite. This can be a problem if there are a lot of trees around you. Cable DSL depends on if the cable company can run you a cable line and if cable is available in your area. Wireless DSL usually depends if there is a wireless tower or relay located close to you from your provider. The best way to determine what is available to you is to request a quote from DSLNOW.COM
