: Where do internet businesses get their internet for their servers? All the large internet companies (Facebook, Google, etc) have tons of servers running to host their data. However, where do these

@Ann8826881

When a website starts getting very large you pay for the amount of Mbps the site uses or Gbps in some cases. The companies you mention all have there own datacenters and will have multiple carriers ie. Level3, Telefónica...

If you have a look at a datacenter's specifications you can see what they use. For example www.softlayer.com/about/network/carriers

The companies you mentioned mostly own and operate their own datacenters, most of which have redundant connections to multiple carriers.

They pay for their internet connections, just like you and everyone else.
