There are basically three different options:

Broadband access - You have either a DSL, cable modem or a T1 line at your office or at home.

Problem: Expensive and not offered in all areas

WiFi access - In your home or office, you may have set up a WiFi router that lets you surf the Web while you lounge with your laptop. On the road, you can find WiFi hot spots in restaurants, hotels, coffee shops and libraries.

Problem: Hot spots are very small, so coverage is sparse

Dial-up access - If you are still using dial-up, chances are that either broadband access is not available, or you think that broadband access is too expensive.

Problem: Too slow for most of today's online applications
