broadband routing

A newb, studying a bit about routing.

Specifically, I'm wondering how say, a given resident's router connects to the rest of the network. Does it go through a neighbor's say, or does it connect in one hop to a "company" router, and then say to other company routers (or not) before, if necessary, hitting another network's router. Does traffic exiting my router just go straight to the ISP's offices downtown (or where ever)?

thanks in advance,

Stan
