Digital subscriber line (DSL; originally digital subscriber loop) is a family of technologies that are used to transmit digital data over telephone lines.[1] In telecommunications marketing, the term DSL is widely understood to mean asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), the most commonly installed DSL technology, for Internet access.
So Internet still goes over phone lines?
@vaporeon_ DSL does, yeah.
@The_T What other types of Internet connection are there? Besides DSL?
@vaporeon_ @The_T as mentioned elsewhere, “cable”, various mobile broadband protocols, and fiber optic. pretty sure dial up is still a thing, though obviously rarely used, which i’m pretty sure also uses phone lines. there’s also internet over satellite (the like satellite television), which is mostly used fur like, ships, though you CAN get it fur residential internet if you’re unlucky
