DSL Types! DSL Type Max Speed RX Max Speed TX ADSL 9 Mbps 800Kbps BDSL See VDSL See VDSL CDSL 1Mbps <1Mbps HDSL 1.544Mbps 1.544Mbps IDSL 155Kbps 155Kbps RADSL See ADSL See ADSL SDSL 1.168Mbps 1.168Mbps UDLS No Standard No Standard VDSL (asymmetric) 52.8Mbps 6.4Mbps VDSL (symmetric) 34Mpbs 34Mbps VADSL See VDSL asymmetric See VDSL asymmetric G.Lite 1.536Mbps 512 Kbps ADSL: Asymmetric DSL. Runs over normal phone lines simultaneously with normal phone. Has different speeds up and down(asymmetric) BDSL: An uncommon name for VDSL CDSL: Consumer DSL. A type of ADSL standard proposed by Rockwell that does not use CAP or DMT HDSL: High speed SDSL. Similar to point to point T1. Faster implementation of SDSL IDSL: Uses ISDN signaling over normal phone line hence the 144 Kbps restriction RADSL: Rate Adaptive ADSL. ADSL implementation where the DSL modems auto-negotiate the highest possible speed on the line SDSL: Symmetric DSL. Runs over normal phone lines but cannot use phone while connected. Same speed up and down(symmetric) UDSL: Unidirectional HDSL as proposed by a company in Europe. Also stands for Universal DSL as proposed by Compaq, Intel and Microsoft VDSL: Very high speed DSL. Can run both symmetric and asymmetric VADSL: Very high speed ADSL. The asymmetric part of VDSL xDSL: A generic term for DSL G.Lite: A new form of "plug and play" DSL being developed
