network providers

Connectivity service suppliers

Network providers are companies that supply access to communication networks, most commonly the internet or cellular phone service.

The term encompasses internet service providers (ISPs), mobile carriers, and telecommunications companies that maintain the infrastructure—cables, towers, servers—connecting users to broader networks.

In healthcare contexts, network providers refers instead to doctors, hospitals, and specialists who participate in an insurance plan's approved network.
