Whats the different between: ADSL and DSL cable?

No real difference - DSL uses your telephone system (socket, wiring), whereas cable uses Telewest or NTL's own proprietary socket.
I personally use Blueyonder as they impose no download restrictions, not to mention upgrading my package all the time free of charge.
If you intend to buy broadband router - make sure you ask for a router thats for either DSL broadband OR cable broadband.

DSL is Digital Line Subscriber offering two types of connection, ADSL (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) and SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line).
SDSL is the more expensive, but offers the most bandwidth, the bandwidth of both the upstream and the downstream are the same speed. Normally used for businesses to connect LANS together.
ADSL is cheaper, but the upstream bandwidth is smaller than the downstream. Normally used for residential.
Both DSL and Cable are Cable, DSL is copper, Cable is normally Coaxial. DSL lines are normally dedicated connections to each individual household, whereas Cable Coaxial is shared connectivity distributed amoungst connecting parties.
Personally I prefer DSL technology.
