Into the ISP's modem on the side of your house. From there to a box along the street, and from there miles away to either another hop, or the datacenter in your local area.
Serial communication is typically much easier to manage than parallel. In parallel all existing tasks need to be completed before the next task can start.
The data is routed, and if you don't need to send the data to you the router is not going to send it to you. The same thing applies to a switch on your local ethernet. But you only really see your traffic and any broadcasts. You don't normally see Device A talking to Device B.
