What is an Internet Service Provider?



ISPs charge a fee for the service of providing Internet access. Charges vary from region to region and can depend on variables such as:

*type of connection

*modem speed

*level of service

Some ISPs charge for each hour that a user is connected to the ISP. Other service providers allow unlimited connection time once the user has paid a flat fee - either by the month or by the year.

There are many sources of information about Internet Service Providers via the World Wide Web. Two sources are:
