Most DSL providers point to three key features of DSL that make it an attractive and compelling service: DSL is fast. Even the slowest DSL connections are twice as fast as a dial-up modem. The fastest connections are over 100 times faster, capable of reaching speeds of 7.1Mbps. DSL comes with an "always-on" connection (you'll never again have to dial-up.) A simple button click will connect you to the Internet and you'll never experience any busy signals or dropped lines. DSL allows a user to surf the Internet and talk on the phone simultaneously, so you'll never have to worry about tying up your phone line. Aside from these oft-advertised features, DSL also supports networking, hosting and online gaming. Additionally, many users choose DSL because it is regarded as the most reliable and secure access technology available.
