Erm nope I would expect you need to get a subscription to a provider which is a available to you locally as you need a PHYSICAL connection. I could sign up to a company in America if I want but I wouldn't be able to connect to their service unless they wanted to run a cable all the way across to England just for me to plug my computer into.
An ISP in another country is just a company providing a physical connection/gateway to the internet for people residing in that country.
