Internet Service Provider

(ISP) a company that provides Internet service to a
customer. Usually, in exchange for a fee, the company provides access to the
Internet and one or more email accounts. Many providers offer unlimited monthly
usage for a flat fee of around $20. It’s important to use an ISP that provides a
local dial-up number, otherwise the user is charged long distance rates while
connected to the Internet. It has become increasingly popular for some ISPs to
offer free access to the Internet. Under this arrangement, the provider displays
some type of advertising on the user’s screen (which can’t be removed) for the
duration of the online session.
