DSL is like superset of ADSL(the A is for Asymetric, which means that your upload speed != your download speed). There’s also SDSL, which is Symetric, meaning your upload is the same as your download. I have ADSL - but I also have DSL. (Ireland can be pretty up to date in some parts of the country and behind in others) ---

I have ADSL. It usually means that your downloads will be full speed while your uploads lack abit. In my case, 1.5mB download, 700-900kB upload ---
