What exactly is ASDL and when is it available?

[HecklerUK]

OK ya probably think I'm stupid for asking, But I'm not sure eaxctly what ADSL is. I've heard it's much faster than a modem, which can only be good. But what would I need and who will support it? How much is it gonna cost and so one, new equipment I have to buy.
AAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH this confuses me sooooo much.

Thanks

Heckler
