Every Internet service has something between the router and the world. It is often a cable or DSL modem that plugs into a phone socket in the wall.
More recently ISPs have installed ONTs (optical network termination), a box that connects to a fibre that comes into the property with an ethernet port on the outside.
A few installations – on a campus or apartment block – have wired the place with Ethernet. How those work is up to the people who installed the network. Troubleshooting those networks can be a pain.

In any case, it is bad form, and against the rules of this place, to hijack someone else's conversation.
