| Copper |
 Copper lines, which have been used for Plain Old Telephone
Service (POTS) and ISDN, also serve as conduits for digital
subscriber line (DSL)
technologies. The most prevalent DSL technologies are asymmetric
DSL (ADSL), with quad spectrum
speeds up to 50Mbps downstream and 5.5Mbps upstream, and
recently standardized VDSL2, with speeds up to 100Mbps symmetric.
Speeds can vary depending on the distance between the telecom
provider’s central office (CO)
and the subscriber’s
modem or router. (CPE).
