Detailed explanation-1: -DSL internet does not use phone lines in the same way as landline telephone service or dial-up, so you technically don’t need a landline telephone connection for service.
Detailed explanation-2: -DSL: DSL service uses a broadband connection, which makes it much faster than dial-up. DSL connects to the Internet via a phone line but does not require you to have a landline at home. And unlike dial-up, you’ll be able to use the Internet and your phone line at the same time.
Detailed explanation-3: -You can also make and receive telephone calls while online. This is because the ADSL signal operates on a digital frequency, while the voice signals (telephone conversation), operate on an analogue frequency. Voice data and Internet data can, therefore, travel along the line simultaneously.
