What is ISP?

An Internet Service Provider, or ISP, is a company that provides access to the internet. You'd normally pay a fixed monthly fee for access to the internet via the ISP. Each ISP will offer a different service - some will provide free email, some will provide faster download speeds, and some will limit the amount you can download in a month. Your choice of ISP will depend on how you use the internet.
