If you are asking the difference between DSL and dialup there is a great difference. Dialup can only offer a top speed of ~56k a second. DSL can offer you speeds of 6mb/sec and faster. DSL goes over your phone lines just like normal dialup but you need to be within range of your provider and they have to rent you a DSL modem so you can pick up the DSL signal off the phone line.
Dial-up services use your phone line and a modem. Your modem makes a phone call to the internet service provider's modems to connect, so you cannot talk on the phone while the internet is connected. Dial-up is one of the slowest types of service available, however it is one of the most readily available because it was designed to use basic services like the phone system that are already in place. Dial-up also requires you to connect every time you want to use it.
DSL services also use your phone line, but you can still get and place phone calls. DSL is much faster than dial-up, and you do not need to connect every time you want to use the internet; it is an always on service. DSL is relatively secure as well. You can have static or dynamic IP addresses. Static IP addresses are good for game and web servers because you keep the same address, whereas with dynamic IP addresses your address will change periodically.
