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.

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.
