ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is the most common way of receiving broadband. ADSL broadband is the generic term for a technology that allows large amounts of digital information to be sent over an ordinary copper telephone line, your standard BT phone line.
It is asymmetric because it allows information to be downloaded more quickly than information is uploaded. This makes it particularly suitable for Internet surfing and for downloading files, music, movies and other clips.
This is the key reason broadband providers quote packages with higher download speeds than upload speeds.
