Nope.  Everyone on the net has an ISP... for details read the (quite
dated) "Getting Connected: The Internet at 56K and Up", O'Reilly, 1966
(I told you it was dated).  It says:

"Your provider might be a national or international Internet Service
Provider (ISP), such as PSI, UUNET, BBN, Sprint, MCI, etc.  Each of
these companies operates a wide area network, of which you become a part
when you sign up for service.  You can reach everyone else on the
Internet because these companies trade traffic with their competition
via routers, or high speed networks, tucked into wiring closets and
sprinkled about the Internet."

While some of these companies aren't around any longer, I'm sure you get
the idea.

So Sprint is your ISP.
