ADSL is a type of DSL technology enabling faster data transmission over copper lines. Bandwidth and bit rate are asymmetric, with higher speeds downstream. Works by using spectrum above voice telephone call band. Typically installed within 4-8 kilometers of telephone exchange

DSL transmits digital data over telephone lines using higher frequencies. ADSL is most common DSL technology for Internet access. DSL can coexist with wired telephone service on same line. DSL filters installed on phones to separate DSL from voice signals
ADSL uses standard cabling with asymmetric bandwidth for internet and phone use. VDSL offers 10Mbps upload and 70Mbps download speeds for short distances. Fiber optic provides theoretical 1Gbps download but actual 300Mbps speed
