DSL (Digital Subscriber Lines) — also known as high-speed Internet — allows subscribers to be on the phone and online at the same time. When compared to dial-up, DSL also offers quicker downloads, faster speeds, and a better overall Internet experience.
According to the Internet World Stats, the United States has more than 66 million Internet broadband subscribers; worldwide, the number of DSL subscribers jumps over 304 million.
High-speed Internet DSL is a distance-sensitive technology and speeds may vary. Therefore, this service may not be available to all TDS customers in Rison. Customers interested in finding out if TDS’ DSL service is available to their home should call TDS at 1-888-CALL-TDS.
