Internet,does it connect to a server like this?

[sgtcool]

the question might be a bit weird,i dont know much about internet,im also not a native english speaker

 

So on a phone with 3G it connects to your ISPs server then the Server connects into the internet cables (copper and fibre?) then travels thru copper and fibre cables to the server youre connecting to (lets say Youtube in US)

 

is this how packets/bits travel?

Almost the entire Internet backbone is fiber the only time copper is really used is in ISPs or connecting two switches/servers together. ISPs have uplink providers to the Internet backbone, those uplink providers like Cogent, Level 3, and Hurricane Electric peer with each other and other networks sending your data to each other. This is how you can access a website hosted on a different ISP and/or country. Think of your local network but on a massive scale.

The internet kinda works like that, depends how deep you want to know but you ISP connects to the backbone of the internet and the switches/routers work out the best route for the data to the server/service you want.

It really depends on where the site is hosted. For example, if you were connecting to a server in a co-location facility it would look something like this:

 

You -> Your ISP -> level 3/ATT/whatever -> data-center's ISP -> Server
