DSL Internet service relies on phone lines.
AT&T is a major communications company that provides many services, including DSL Internet service. DSL is an Internet service that provides a much faster network connection than a standard dial-up connection. However, even though DSL is significantly faster than dial-up, it still uses regular telephone lines to send data. Therefore, service interruptions can occur when telephone lines are damaged or broken. You can report DSL outages to AT&T so that AT&T can fix the outage as quickly as possible.
