Typically you pay an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide a connection.
There are dial up connections which use your phone line.
There are broadband connections of several flavors, the most common of which are via your Cable company (a cable modem) or phone company (called DSL) In some areas DSL may be provided by a company that isn't your phone company, but the signal still comes via the phone wires.
If you really don't know how to get onto the internet, maybe you might want to look into a basic computer intro class at a local community college?
