How are they different?
With DSL, you are usually using the ILECs copper to provide service and
paying them.
With cable, there are some places that offer a choice in provider on the
same coax.
You are always free to obtain a franchise and run your own coax. Just
because the incumbent cable company does not allow every tom dick and
harry ISP to use their copper doesn't mean you can't provide the same
service.
