You can get Internet over cable, telephone wires, or beamed in through the air. Some have fiber optics available too, basically a wire that is very high speed.....
Cable seems to have worked out the fastest, in early times it was not as secure and slowed down a lot as more got online, but that is better now. Has become very good. But only to those living in towns.
Over the phone lines is called DSL. The closer you are to one of their sub panels/ Internet repeater deals the faster speed you can get. Originally I could only get .5 meg of speed, now is can get 7 meg speed as they upgrade their equipment and Internet drops. You can watch youtube at around 1meg, and do fairly good video at 2meg or above, just for reference....
Both of the above are good solid Internet, often have unlimited Internet. A wire into your house is a great way to go.
Below often have data limits, and can be affected by weather: data limits mean video stuff will cost you a lot, easy to go over the monthly limit with video.
Broadband is a wireless deal, tends to be smaller local companies, you need an antenna looks like a BBQ grill aimed at the tower you can see to get the signals. You need to be within 10 miles and see the tower....
Cell data is another way to get Internet, LTE is pretty good speed. Basically Internet over the cell phone towers, you can travel and keep getting Internet as you travel anywhere there are cell signals. Aside from the data limits, it is a great way to get Internet in multiple locations and as you travel. Tablets and laptops can have the antenna built in; or you can get a 'hotspot' which is just a cell antenna device that gathers the cell Internet and feeds it back out to your computers and tablets and such.
Sat signals like Wild blue or Huges Network can blast Internet into rough areas where no other signals make it. It has a timing delay as packets of data have to fly up and down 100s of miles to space, so some Internet functions like VoIP don't work well because of these small delays. Also the sat companies have data limits. It is probably the most difficult connection to work with, but will work most all places of nothing else is available.
VoIP is just a way of allowing phone calls to go through the Internet. You need enough data speed and a solid connecting with few dropped packets and no delays to make it work well.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
