John, the equipment required is very similar. Either way will need a network card installed in the computer and an external box with a power cord. Depending on who does the installation, DSL can eith

Randall, as usual, is correct. But for simplicity, and to give a better illustration of how the infrastructure is laid out, I will add my bit. DSL networks are setup the same, architecturally, as ph

The one area in which there may be sharing of bandwidth on DSL is at the CO/ISP - because ISPs tend to underallocate their outbound bandwidth to the Internet backbone. They have to do this to make an
