In telephony, a local loop refers to the connection between a telecommunication company’s CO to the lines in the service subscriber’s home or office. Originally, local loop service carried only telephone service to subscribers. But today, with the use of modems, ISDN and DSL signals are transmitted to subscribers as well through the local loop.
