The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

> I don't mean through a modem to a company that offers the service, but

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} The Internet is everywhere.  It flows through us, connects us.  It is
} in all living things.  You must feeeeel the Internet running through
} you.  Channel it, feel it, repect it.  Then you may be ready to learn
} how to connect with it.
}
} You owe the Oracle a few floating rocks, a small green puppet with
} funny ears, and a hamster named Chewie...
}
} May the Internet be with you.
