Hi, I have a question. If people try to build their own network, They'll have to connect to the existing internet at some point so they can access a website that is on the internet and not on their network, Right?

So, How would they do it? Do you just ask some ISP for a high-speed connection? How does it work? I saw some videos about people in Detroit setting up their own network but they didn't show everything and their internet speed was quite low.

There is a user on here who created/is creating a website that answers that, just in the context of starting a wireless ISP.

But, to answer your question, you would buy a connection to the internet from a provider like Level 3, or Hurricane Electric or whoever.
