See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADSLIn regular speak, if your broadband is fibre-optic cable then it is usually DSL and is a separate line from your telephone. If your broaddband connection is ADSL then it is via your regular telephone line (copper wires), though using a different frequency from voice transmission. Dial-up will be over your regular telephone line.The problem, I think, is that the ADSL providers in the UK are using BT telephone lines and the new upgrade facilities provided by BT to the broadband providers may not be stable. As the cable companies own their own network they have more control over the facilities.Btw, Neil's e-mail seems to be working on and off today, but more off than on.Gaia xxx
