About DSL Providers

A DSL internet provider is a company that offers broadband access to the internet over existing phone lines, in exchange for a fee. This fee is usually monthly, and many DSL providers require a six-month or one year commitment. Like other ISPs (internet service providers), such as cable and dial-up services, DSL providers are responsible for providing service and support for their signals and equipment. A local DSL provider is also responsible for installation of its hardware, though this is generally a painless process, due to the fact that the signal is carried over existing lines.
