DSL foes over your phone lines just like normal dial up that you need to be within range of your provider and they have to rent you a DSL modem so you can pick the DSL.
DSL uses phone lines, cable uses cable TV lines, and satellite uses.. well.. satellite.
not trying to be smart but that's the basics.
DSL uses a dedicated line to each house to connect to a central DSLAM, excellent for game playing/browsing
Cable uses one big pipe to connect everyone, similar to water line. A big pipe has a bunch of little ones coming off to all the houses. Excellent for browsing/downloading large files/ok for games.
Satellite uses a dish to beam the internet service down to your house, but carries latency due to the fact the signal has to travel to outer space, then back and through all the lines to get to the internet. Therefore there is some lag with it. In some cases over a full second goes by before your data reaches its destination. Not good for online game playing.
The most obvious difference between DSL and cable internet is speed, as cable is much faster. However, they are physically different in that a DSL connection is typically done through a phone line while a cable connection does not require this. DSL internet is usually cheaper and can be available in areas that cable is not.
DSL and cable modem utilize the same technology only difference in the companies.

Dial up is still in use, but not commonly. DSL and Cable are the two leading internet services at the moment. The other alternative is a direct satellite internet connection.
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. Also, with DSL, you get the same speed no matter what, but with cable, your speed is affected by how many other people are using tat cable service at the same time.
DSL is much faster than regular dial-up, however, it is slower than Cable internet. Regardless it is definitely one of the quicker ways to surf the net. The real difference between dial-up and DSL is the fact that DSL is faster and doesn't hold up the telephone line unlike dial-up. Cable on the other hand is much faster than DSL and dial-up, using fiber-optic cables, able to pull of tremendous speed without the use of a telephone all completely!
It does not have to be DSL it can also be cable, fiber, or satellite. But it does have to be some kind of high speed service. Dial up will not work.
