How do I found out my ISP?

RemainNameless · 17 Jan 2009 at 17:38

As above, is there a way i can determine the ISP through a website based on my IP or something similar?

Quoted for posterity.

One sure fire way to find out is to look at your bank statement and see which ISP takes a monthly fee out of your account.

http://ip-lookup.net/ tells you the host.

It'll probably be in your hostname - http://www.displaymyhostname.com/

Post the hostname here if you still can't work it out (BLANK OUT ANY NUMBERS FIRST)

Next he'll be posting in software asking for programs that change your MAC.

Hey brainiac, I hadn't thought of that.

Actually, I moved into a rented house and no one currently living here has had to pay a bill yet, hence the question.

Eclipse Internet it seems. It's awfully slow.

The router looks quite old, is it more likely to be the router or the ISP's fault?

VaderDSL · 17 Jan 2009 at 18:02

So you moved into rented accommodation, and neither yourself or anyone else currently occupying the house has had a bill addressed to them for internet usage? Yet you can access the internet?

So you moved in, there was a router etc. already there and you hooked your computer up to it and are getting free internet? Do you have a line rental with BT? Just trying to understand what's happening.
