Well, lets start with a "telephoone." If you are asking about a telephone modem/dial-up connection, then that system is a communictaion network designed for person-to-person communication. A modem then dials to a service provider, with multiple dial-in lines.

Existing ground based telephone lines transmit data at a maximum rate of 53Kbps, which means that 56K modems actually did not work at their full capacity.

"Current FCC regulations (Part 68) limit the top speed of these modems to 53Kbps."

By contrast, the internet itself is an interconnected system bridged by many types of connections (like the T1, T2, or other connection types) which allows much faster connections as well as multiple simultaneos connections.

"The Internet (also known simply as the Net) is the worldwide, publicly accessible system of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.

"Briefly, the Internet can be understood as "a network of networks".
