DSL is an acronym that describes a Digital Subscriber Line. There are many types of DSL, such as ADSL or SDSL.<br>ADSL is Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line, meaning the download speeds are faster than the upload speeds. Good for home users.<br>SDSL is Synchronous Digital Subscriber Line, the upload is as fast as the download. Good for a server type setup.<br>DSL isn't fast enough to host a website server, but if you wanted to host a video game against 6-8 other players then it works great.

Oh, thanks. Because I use ADSL and I never heard about anyone using it outside Brazil... Thought it was avaliable only here where I live.
