No, the Internet is considered a Wide Area Network (WAN)
It is a Metropolitan Area Network
LAN<local area network> , WAN<wide area network> , MAN <metropolitan area network>, Backbone network.
It connects all of your computers and servers together on the network, and is typically very fast, like 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) or 1000 Mbps.
Living downtown allows people to experience the city. One disadvantage is the fact that things will be more expensive downtown.
A WAN usually crosses multiple city, state, or national boundaries. A MAN is confined to a single metropolitan area.
