If I have Verizon as my phone service, and Comcast as my tv service, can I get...?

Comcast internet. I don't want a cable line, I want DSL. I am really not sure how it works. I know if both are the same then there is no problem, but what happens in my case. Do I have to get the fios or not. Thanks for your help!

Update:

Thank you so much for your help! The internet is for my grandparents and they are justing getting internet for the first time. They want to get good something good, but cheap at the same time. I don't want to get them dial up. DSL will be perfect for them.

Update 2:

I agree, I have Fios at home and it is awesome

    I've bundled FIOS tv and internet service and I'm very happy with the upload and download speed of my DSL. I would suggest you look into FIOS

    If you don't want cable internet then you would need to go with Verizon or another provider that has DSL in your area such as Earthlink. If FIOS Is in your area I suggest getting it! It is really awesome and very very fast! Much faster than DSL

    DSL will only give you 768 meg of upload and maybe 1.2 meg of down bandwidth. Comcast will provide you with a minium of 6 meg of bandwith. I used Verzion DSL in PA. I really couldn't tell any difference except in d/ling a movie. It wasn't much cheaper either.

    DSL comes into yer house on a twisted pair that carries 2 channels. One for phone and one for Data. Sure ya got a dedicated twisted pair that is yers alone with DSL. Ya gotta share Cable.. Yer speed may vary!. I like DSL but cable is faster for most people for about the same amount of money!
