Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) uses the existing copper telephone lines to provide high-speed internet access. The speed and quality of the DSL service depend upon the distance from the telephone exchange or the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer), which is installed at the user's location. The shorter the distance between the user and the DSLAM, the higher the speed of the DSL connection. In contrast, the longer the distance, the more the signal degrades, resulting in slower speeds. Therefore, choice A is the correct statement.
