is there anyway to connect to the internet other than the ones that gives limited access without having to get an internet service provider? is there some type of modem or cable?
Now, to the poster, what do you mean limited access? In order to use the internet you must have an ISP. A modem is a device used to convert serial digital data from a transmitting terminal to a signal suitable for transmission over a telephone channel, or to re-convert the transmitted signal to serial digital data for acceptance by a receiving terminal.
A cable, well, think about that for one second.
As for the last answerer, a router is a special-purpose dedicated computer that attaches to two or more networks and routes packets from one network to the other. In particular, an Internet gateway routes IP datagrams among the networks it connects. Gateways route packets to other gateways until they can be delivered to the final destination directly across one physical network. It does not give you internet access alone. Again, you NEED AN ISP.
