DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line, and it's one of the many technologies used to bring an Internet connection and information into homes and businesses. What makes DSL unique is that it uses existing telephone lines/connections, with special adaptations. DSL started to become popular in the 1980s and 1990s. In the early days of the "World Wide Web" (we're talking 1990s, not 1890s), your telephone company provided what was called "dial-up" service, which was slow and tied up your telephone line. In response to the fast-growing demand for Internet access—and faster, better connections—DSL was developed.http://whatismyipaddress.com/dsl
