Digital Subscriber Line remains unchallenged despite competition. It continues to be a promising broadband technology that people will use in the future generations to come. It has changed the face of
Internet application and will continue to reign as long as people will stick out with it. But the big question is: can DSL survive more than it should?
In terms of competition, cable internet seems to be the biggest rival in the market. However, I believe that both technologies can co-exist. It's more harmonized than ever because people get the best of both worlds. People choose cable internet because it's a cheaper alternative. On the other hand, some people use DSL because of its
high speed connection. The lopsidedness of cable internet also in effect entices people to switch to DSL.
DSL proves particularly useful for businesses which rely so much on the internet to back their systems and applications up. In addition, you don't usually see cable networks in business areas due to the reason that they create a lot of clutter. Only DSL can provide a dedicated line; where you can use your internet in private. It is stable and is rarely delayed. For most part, DSL continues to surge. A point in fact is the rise of the number of
DSL providers here and abroad.
