DSL
availability - limited in terms of geographic location but not
in the number of providers!
Since DSL availability is dependent on having telephone
lines, this type of connection is not necessarily available
everywhere. DSL availability requires that a Digital Subscriber
Line is situated somewhere near the Internet user. The closer an
Internet user is to the subscriber line, the faster the Internet
connection.
DSL availability is limited by distance because the further
a modem is from the central Internet provider, the lower the
quality of the signal transmitted. This leads to a decrease in
the connection speed.
One major reason why DSL availability is not possible for
all people with phone lines is because of the physical
interference in the telephone cable lines. If there are fiber
optic cables somewhere along the length of the wires, the
signals cannot make the appropriate transitions between digital
and analog.
Although DSL availability can be limited by where a person
lives, interested Internet users have a really wide range of
providers from whom they can buy their Internet service and
subscriber line. Since there are so many providers in this
market, consumers can get some really great deals if they search
thoroughly.
