ADSL stands for "Asynchronous (or Asymmetric) Digital Subscriber Line." It is a type of digital internet communications carried over an analog line (POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) or PTSN (Public Telephone Switched Network); they both refer to the same service). Typically, ADSL offers faster downstream communications and slower upstream communications, such as 8Mbit/1Mbit, which means the download speeds are eight times faster than the upload speeds (not including overhead and congestion).
