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

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.
