Synopsis Standing for Digital Subscriber Line, DSL transforms the
normal copper wires between the local telephone exchange and a
customer's telephone socket into a high speed digital link. There are
over 1 million broadband connections in the UK today, which are being
delivered using this technology and this number is expected to
increase to around 5 million in the next 3 to 4 years. DSL is ideal
for high speed Internet access, home working, online gaming, reception
of digital audio and video material, video conferencing and many more
exciting new applications. This talk explains what DSL is, gives a
brief history of its development over the last 10 years, explains how
it works and demonstrates some of its key benefits and capabilities.

If you want to know more, come along. Everyone is welcome and no
ticket is needed. Simply turn up on the night.
