Internet Service
Provider (ISP)
An ISP gives you access to
the Internet. Just as you
need an account with a
cable company to have
cable service, you must also
have an ISP account to
access the Internet and to
use e-mail.
After setting up your
Internet connection, you
can press the Instant
∆
Internet button on your
Internet keyboard, and like
magic—you're on the Web!
Did you know ...
If you have problems
connecting to an ISP, call the
ISP for assistance.
