DLS stands for Digital Subscriber Line. DSL is used to provide internet over the traditional telephone lines. There are two categories of DSL, ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) and SDSL (symmetric digital subscriber line). Difference between DSL and Cable internet is that cable internet connections have shared bandwidth. This essentially results in fluctuating speeds based on the number of users on a particular connection. With DSL, a customer’s speed remains constant and there aren’t any additional users sharing the same bandwidth.
