HDSL(High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line), one of the earliest forms of DSL, is used for wideband digital transmission within a corporate site and between the telephone company and a customer. The main characteristic of HDSL is that it is symmetrical : an equal amount of bandwidth is available in both directions.

Fiber optic cable is used to connect high speed telephone and computer networks. This "wire" is not made of metal, but instead uses special glass, plastic or ceramic filaments to guide the light to a certain destination.
