No.

  • The DSL modem uses internet Protocol to transfer digital data in two directions.
  • A VGA port on a computer monitor or TV is an analog video unidirectional interface.

They do not "speak the same language" in any way, they can't even "talk about the same topics".

You can obviously connect them both to a computer (if it supports both Ethernet and VGA) but that by itself is not enough, if for example you wanted to send a streamed video from the Internet via DSL to the TV you would also have to be running software on that computer for performing this task.

How do you hook up a DSL connection to your computer?

the actual physical connection is simple, almost every DSL provider will sell/lease you a modem, and probably install it, either free or for a price. The DSL modem connects either to your phone line, a fiber optic line (if your in a large city) or most commonly a coaxal line, just like your tv. That modem, also connected to the power outlet, is then connected to your computer via a jumper Ethernet line, commonly Cat5e. You could also connect a router to the modem instead, and then connect your computer to the router via another Cat5e line, or Wifi. This is only required when you are connecting many computers to the same internet connection, or when you really need Wifi for a laptop or remote computer.

One main difference is that you need to have cable television in order to have a cable modem, but DSL runs through a standard telephone line and jack. Another main difference that is helpful in selection which service to use is that DSL requires you to live within a certain distance of a phone tower to get signal, while cable does not.
