eli5 Networking : Routers and ISPs

448 views

I just recently found out that routers connect you to the internet, but then I found out that ISPs also connect you do the internet. Can someone explain to me what really happens behind the scenes? Why do we need ISPs if our routers can connect to the internet by themselves?
