The broadband DSL multiplexer sends a signal from the broadband DSL customer phone line to a network, which then in turn connects the subscriber to the internet. Broadband DSL use digital technology by compressing sizeable quantities of video, audio, and data into what is known as “bits.” The bits are transformed into graphics, text, and other information which are transferred at high rates of speed to business and home computers across the globe. At the uppermost level, the two primary categories of DSL are asymmetric and symmetric. Residential broadband DSL typically uses asymmetric variations which include RADSL, UADSL/G.Lite, and ADSL.
