Definitions of DSL:

A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and telephone companies.

stands for Digital Subscriber Loop. It shares the same phone line as the telephone service, but it uses a different part of the phone line's bandwidth. It does not interfere with normal phone service because there is a significant amount of unused capacity in current phone wires. ...

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. xDSL refers to different variations of DSL, such as ADSL, HDSL, and RADSL. ...

A method for moving data over regular phone lines. A DSL circuit is much faster than a regular phone connection, and the wires coming into the subscriber's premises are the same (copper) wires used for regular phone service. A DSL circuit must be configured to connect two specific locations, similar to a leased line.

A technology for enabling high speed information transfer to end users over ordinary copper telephone lines. xDSL refers to different variations of DSL, such as ADSL, HDSL, iDSL and RADSL. DSL offers data download rates up to 6 Mbps, dependant on the variant supplied and distance from the nearest DSL service provider's exchange. Distance limitations are generally around the 4 mile mark and apply to the actual cable length from the exchange to the end user premises.

Digital Subscriber Line is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. A DSL line can carry both data and voice signals and the data part of the line is continuously connected.

Acronym for Digital Subscriber Line or Digital Subscriber Loop, often referred to as xDSL. It refers to fast two-way data connections over ordinary telephone lines..
www.wirelesstelcorp.com/glossary_of_terms.htm
Digital Subscriber Link technologies, use sophisticated modulation schemes to pack data onto copper wires. They are sometimes referred to as last-mile technologies because they are used only for connections from a telephone switching station to a home or office, not between switching stations.

Digital Subscriber Line.
ece-www.colorado.edu/~mathys/ecen1200/terms.html
A data communications technology that transmits information over the copper wires that make up the local loop of the public switched telephone network (See local loop).) It bypasses the circuit-switched lines that make up that network and yields much faster data transmission rates than analog modem technologies

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) provides a dedicated digital circuit between a residence and a telephone company's central office, allowing high-speed data transport over existing twisted copper telephone lines.
www.hay.net/internet/dsl/hs_faqs/hs_glossary.htm
A technology that exploits unused frequencies on copper telephone lines to transmit traffic much higher speeds. DSL can allow voice and high speed data to be sent simultaneously over the same line. Because the service is 'always available,' end-users don't need to dial in or log on to the Internet.

Digital subscriber line, eg., TDSL for Telecom

Digital subscriber line. A public network technology that delivers high bandwidth over conventional copper wiring (such as telephone lines) at limited distances. There are five types of DSL: ADSL, HDSL, IDSL, SDSL, and VDSL. All are provisioned through modem pairs, with one modem located at a central office and the other at the customer site. Because most DSL technologies do not use the whole bandwidth of the twisted pair, there is room left for a voice channel. See also ADSL.

DSL is a common residential broadband connection. It assumes digital data does not require change into analog form and back. With a DSL modem, digital data is transmitted to a computer directly without conversion, which allows the telecommunications company to use a much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to their customer, resulting in higher maximum data transfer rates. Typical maximum data transfer rates are generally 384 Kbps for downloads and 128 Kbps for uploads.

this technology uses existing copper pair wiring that exists in almost every home and office. Special hardware attached to both the user and switch ends of line allows data transmission over the wires at far greater speed than the standard phone wiring.
nces.ed.gov/pubs98/tech/glossary.asp
A high-sped digital switched service using existing copper pairs to connect subscriber CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) to the Central Office. DSL handles more data downstream (data flowing towards the subscriber) than upstream (towards the network).

(Digital Subscriber Line) A popular alternative to Leased Lines and ISDN, being faster than ISDN and less costly than traditional Leased Lines. DSL moves data over regular phone lines. A common configuration of DSL allows downloads at speeds of up to 1.544 megabits per second, and uploads at speeds of 128 kilobits per second. This arrangement is called ADSL: Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
www.novacon.com/faq.htm
A high-bandwidth Internet access service offered by some ISPs and telecom operators. DSL incorporates existing copper telephone lines with a specialized modem at the customer's end and a multiplexer at the central office. Allows for simultaneous voice and always-on data transmission. DSL services are being rolled out first in metropolitan areas with subscriber bases that can best support the required network upgrades.
cyber.law.harvard.edu/readinessguide/glossary.html
A broadband access technology that allows transmission at bandwidths several times higher than permitted by conventional analog modems.

(Digital Subscriber Line) Refers collectively to all types of digital subscriber lines, the two main categories being ADSL and SDSL. Two other types of xDSL technologies are High-data-rate DSL (HDSL) and Very high DSL (VDSL). DSL technologies use sophisticated modulation schemes to pack data onto copper wires. ...

(Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology which increases the digital capacity of ordinary copper telephone lines. A DSL line is continuously connected and can carry both data and voice signals simultaneously. There are a variety of types of DSL in use. ADSL (Asymmetric DSL) is generally used for Internet access, where fast downstream is required, but slow upstream is acceptable. Symmetric DSL (SDSL, HDSL) is designed for shorter connections that require high speeds in both directions.

(Digital Subscriber Line). DSL is a type of high-speed broadband Internet connection that transmits data over the regular copper wires (phone line), bypassing circuit-switched lines that make up a network giving way to faster data transmission than analog.
