DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a high-speed Internet service that uses existing telephone lines to deliver data. It offers faster speeds than dial-up and has a dedicated connection, meaning it does not tie up the phone line. It is a suitable alternative if cable Internet service is not available or proves to be slower or less dependable than expected. ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is an older technology that is less common, and satellite services can be slower and have latency issues. Therefore, DSL would be the best choice for Tom given the options provided.
