Best Answer

ADSL is not considered a "true" modem because it is completely digital and does not perform the modulation and demodulation (mo/dem) of converting analog signals into digital ones.

What is an ADSL filter?

ADSL filter is a passive electrical circuit, (low pass filter) which is used along with an ADSL modem (for internet access). It can be built into an ADSL modem or is provided as a small box along with the modem. On one side it connects to the telephone network side. Other side has two connections one for connecting the phone and other one to connect to the ADSL modem. It essentially filters the high frequencies, which the modem uses, and thus prevents it from interfering with the telephone signals which uses lower frequencies for audio signals.

Though, most of the times when we use the word DSL, we generally refer to the ADSL modem, but in certain cases, it can even be the SDSL modem. Hence, this is the difference. An ADSL modem can send and receive data at different speeds while SDSL modem can send data at only one speed.
