Click on words
Many homes and businesses use ADSL to access high-speed Internet without fiber optic cables.
ADSL technology allows for faster Internet speeds compared to traditional dial-up connections.
What is "ADSL"?

ADSL, or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is a type of Internet connection that uses telephone lines to deliver high-speed Internet. It is called "asymmetric" because it provides faster download speeds than upload speeds, which is ideal for activities like streaming or browsing. ADSL allows users to use the Internet and make phone calls at the same time, without the need for separate lines. It is widely used in areas where fiber-optic or cable connections are not available, offering a good balance of speed and accessibility over existing telephone infrastructure.

Call waiting is commonly used in both mobile phones and landline systems, allowing individuals to handle several calls without needing to hang up on one to take another.

What is an "IP address"?

An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a unique string of numbers assigned to each device connected to a network, such as the Internet. It allows devices to identify and communicate with each other by providing an address for sending and receiving data. There are two types of IP addresses: IPv4, which consists of four sets of numbers, and IPv6, a newer version with a longer address format to accommodate more devices. An IP address is essential for browsing the web, sending emails, and using online services.

a communication system by which people were able to send and receive messages over long distances, using electrical or radio signals

What is a "telegraph"?

A telegraph is an old communication device used to send messages over long distances by transmitting electrical signals through wires. The signals were typically sent in the form of Morse code, which could be decoded into text by the receiver. Telegraphs were widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries for fast communication, especially for business, military, and emergency purposes. They played a crucial role in connecting distant places and reducing the time it took to send information. The advent of telephones and the Internet eventually replaced the telegraph.
