How do I found out my ISP?

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

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.

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?

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.

I'm not sure which bit you're misunderstanding. The people who paid the previous bill have moved out. The people now living there will pay the next bill (which hasn't come yet). It's not difficult love.

Exactly. I think I asked a perfectly reasonable question and I got jumped upon by a bunch of smartarses who think they know everything.

Explaining everything in the first post might've avoided this, instead of making yourself look like a gormless fool.

Why do I need to explain myself?

The question I posted could have easily been answered without the need to know the details surrounding my personal situation.

Doesn't explain anything, so **** off for jumping on me for asking for clarification of your situation.

Same question to you. Why exactly do you need to know about my situation? Does it stop you from answering the original question?

How about you go through the landlord, ask them to contact the previous tenants. It's not difficult to sort out is it love

Again, you think I haven't thought of this?

Of course I'm going to do this, but all I wanted to do for the time being is quickly ascertain my ISP.

Now brainiac, which do you think is going to take the shortest amount of time, going through the landlord to contact the previous tenants, or making a post on a forum.
