The Basics
-
Netzero DSL (short for digital subscriber line) is a high-speed Internet service provided by the company Netzero. DSL provides high-speed, digital Internet access over normal telephone lines. In addition to being significantly faster than dial-up Internet, Netzero DSL lets a person use his phone at the same time his computer is connected to the Internet. This is possible because DSL uses high-frequency transmission techniques. A phone service uses low-frequency transmission.

Setup
-
The only piece of hardware required to have Netzero's DSL service (aside from a computer, obviously) is a DSL modem. This device takes signals coming from the Internet and going from the computer into a transmission frequency that can be used over a telephone line. Netzero claims its DSL service is 50 times faster than a standard 56K modem running dial-up Internet.
Bonus Items
-
In addition to providing Internet access, Netzero's DSL service is currently bundled with a variety of useful items. Subscribers are granted access to Norton's online antivirus software, which helps prevent viruses and spyware from getting onto a user's computer. Users also get their own "MegaMail" email account, as well as a pop-up blocker that prevents web pages from loading any advertisements you don't click on.
