ADSL is provided over copper wires. Only BT has copper wires going to
your house, and it's going to stay that way until they unbundle the
local loop. I don't actually know what that means, but people seem to be
saying it a lot in this context so I thought I'd better do likewise.
Other telephone operators use optical fibres. Instead of ADSL, you can
get cable modems from them.

That's about the depth and breadth of my knowledge.
