Which of the following statements is true about DSL?
  1. DSL does not allow the user to use the internet and make calls simultaneously.
  2. A DSL subscriber must be beyond 10 kms of the Central office to be able to connect to DSL.
  3. The splitter sends voice signals above 3.4 KHz to the telephone and data signals below 3.4 KHz to the modem.
  4. The splitter sends voice signals above 3.4 KHz to the telephone and data signals below 3.4 KHz to the modem.
Explanation
Answer - D - In a DSL connection, the splitter isolates the voice signals from the data signals and sends it to the telephone. The data signals will be sent to the modem.

Key Takeaway: DSL, or digital subscriber line, is a broadband Internet technology that delivers data signals on a phone line and enables the user to make calls and use internet simultaneously. To be able to use a DSL connection, the user must be within 18,000 feet of the Central office. The user can make the calls along with using the Internet, because the splitter splits the signals below 3.4 KHz and sends them to the telephone and the signals above 3.4 KHz are sent to the modem.
