SDSL on the other hand allows that the data be sent digital and received digital to another computer.  Like dialup modems, SDSL travels through the same existing copper wire telephone lines, also known as POTS (Plain Old Telephone services).  The only thing though is that someone sent from the Telephone company (or DSL provider) has to come over and setup your  telephone line (primarily the closest jack to the computer) to so that digital signals can travel through without a problem.  Depending on the service provider the connection fee varies.  SDSL uses one twisted pair (line) whereas other DSL services require two or even more.  According to DSL Reports.com, Twisted Pair is considered "the most clearly described piece of technology around!"

Speeds always vary with SDSL.  They usually range between 784Kpbs to even 3Mbps.  Most connections at 3Mbps are considered though to be like T1 and T3 lines. This factor for having quicker download speeds is a major reason why many residential consumers get it as well.  Mainly, the issue is a need for speed and that is what businesses and many others want when they connect online.

SDSL speeds also depend on how far you are located from the CO (Central Office).  It's a a building where all the circuit switching is done.  All lines are connected to a local CO.  There are still many places in the United States that don't offer DSL service.  But even though your TELCO says there is no service available, it may mean that no service is available from them since some of the equipment inside are leased from CLECs (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers).  The farther a person is from a CO, the weaker the connection is.
