ISP
Web access provider
ISP is an abbreviation for Internet service provider—a company that provides access to the Internet.
Common ISPs include cable companies, telephone carriers, and dedicated broadband providers.
I called my ISP about the slow connection.
The term dates from the early commercial Internet era and remains standard in technical and consumer contexts.
