Definition

internet service provider

Also: Internet Service Provider—the company you pay monthly to access the internet, then curse regularly when your connection drops during important Zoom calls. They control the gateway to the digital world and know it, which explains why customer service often feels like negotiating with a digital hostage-taker. ISPs range from massive telecommunications conglomerates to local providers who actually answer the phone.

Example Usage

After the third outage this month, Maria decided to switch ISPs, only to discover her options were basically a monopoly with different branding.
