An Internet service provider is the way you would connect to the Internet as a service provided by a company. Their are various types of connections, Dial-up, ISDN line, Broad band such as: DSL, Cable, Satellite such as: T1, T2, T3, OC3, etc...
Most Internet connections use the TCP/IP protocol to operate.
From Wikipedia

In the past, most ISP's were run by the phone company. Now ISP's can be started by just about anyone. They provide services such as Internet transit, domain name registration and hosting, dial-up or DSL access, leased line access and colocation."
