2. DSL Overview

DSL is most commonly known as a digital subscriber line, or digital subscriber loop. DSL is a way to connect to the Internet using the regular telephone line without interrupting the telephone dial tone signal, unlike dial-up connections, which utilize the same part of the telephone line as telephones do and require the dial tone to ‘dial’ up to an Internet phone number.

DSL ranges in download speeds from 256 kilobits per second to 24,000 kilobits per second. The download speed varies depending on the technology you are using, the conditions of the line and the service level implemented on your phone line. ADSL, or asymmetric digital subscriber line has a slower upload speed than download speed and symmetric digital subscriber lines have equal upload and download speeds.

DSL Internet carries different frequencies than are required for voice transmissions over your telephone line. Telephone lines have been using the same basic set up for over a century and the lines that are running, a pair of copper wires to each house, can carry much more bandwidth than is used for a telephone voice conversation. DSL Internet takes advantage of the unused bandwidth in the regular telephone wires to transmit the digital signal, without interfering with the other frequencies and transmissions being carried out on the same telephone line.

3. The advantages and disadvantages of DSL

As with all technology, DSL has both advantages and disadvantages.

Some of the advantages of DSL include:
  • The ability to leave your Internet connection open while using the phone line for regular voice telephone calls.
  • DSL provides a higher speed than a regular dial-up modem.
  • You can use the phone line that already exists in your Indiana home and you don’t necessarily need new wiring.
  • You usually get the equipment you need, such as the DSL modem from the company in Indiana that offers the DSL Internet access.

    Some disadvantages of DSL include:
  • The closer you are to the provider’s central office, the better your DSL connection works.
  • It’s faster to receive data on DSL than it is to send it over the same line.
  • DSL service isn’t available everywhere.

    Perhaps the most important factor to consider when deciding on DSL Internet access is to find out if DSL is available in your area. In more rural and remote areas, DSL is not available, and you may be stuck using a dial-up modem or satellite Internet. If DSL is available in your area, then it’s safe to say that the choice between DSL and dial-up is an easy one to make. DSL has come down a lot in price with competition rearing its head all over the country and world. No longer is DSL too much more expensive than dial-up and the DSL modem that is required is more readily available to consumers in Indiana.

    • 4. Distance limitations with DSL Internet

    The biggest limitation to DSL Internet access and why it’s not available everywhere is because of the distance limitations. As stated in the ‘disadvantages’, the closer you are to the central office of the company that provides your DSL service in Indiana, the better your signal quality will be. The overall limit for ADSL service is approximately 18,000 feet. The further away you are, the lower your connection speed will be. You may be wondering why the distance limitation exists for DSL Internet access but not for voice calls if DSL and telephone voice calls use the same lines. The reason for this lies in the small amplifiers called loading coils that are installed in the telephone lines to boost the voice signals.

    These loading coils are incompatible with DSL signals, so if there is a loading coil in the line between your location in Indiana and the central office of the telephone company, you can’t receive DSL.

    Other limitations for DSL are:
    Bridge taps—extensions between you and the telephone company central office that extend service to other customers.
    Fiber-optic cables—DSL can’t pass through the conversion of analog to digital and then back to analog if a portion of your telephone circuit is on a fiber optic cable.

    You won’t know if distance is a limitation for you until you contact your local Indiana phone company and find out. Phone companies in Indiana don’t advertise their central office locations, so until you call to find out if you qualify for DSL from the phone company, there’s really no other way to tell.
