Internet connection here is done via cable in many instances. This is
what provides the high-speed connection for us, and comes in on a line
which used to provide television programming (that is now provided by
satellite service). In some parts of the city, there is a blazing high
speed connection available through FIOS - fiber optics - but that is
also the phone line. There are other ways that internet signals can be
transmitted (3G, for example), but they're not available everywhere.

The how do they get an internet connection for their computer at home?
As far as I know for most people here even home wireless broadband
connections are via a landline with a wireless hub inside the home -
at least everyone I know has that. There are many areas, such as
motorway service stations and our local park where a wireless service
is available, probably in the universities as well, but I don't know
of anyone who has a broadband connection at home who hasn't got a
landline.
