Broadband: Section 2

Making Connections: Connecting Through ISPs

To understand what your ISP does, you have to remember that they are online all of the time.

Your telephone call provides a link between your computer and your ISP's computer (server) and from there out onto the Internet.


The ISP:

  • Receives thousands of incoming phone calls

  • Automatically checks that usernames and passwords are current and correct

  • Gives each remote computer access to the Internet
