In large cities, apartment buildings are often served by different Internet providers. And for residents who want to connect to the Internet for the first time or want to change their tariff plan, the task is to find out more about the available opportunities. Sometimes the question "What is the provider in the house?" puzzles the tenants of the apartments.

Instructions
Step 1
Walk through the floors if you already live in this house. As a rule, the providers serving this building make regular advertising mailings with offers to connect and with information about tariffs. Their brochures are thrown into mailboxes or posted at the front door and on the floors.
Step 2
Track where the wire goes from your apartment if it is already connected to the Internet. As a rule, to ensure broadband access in the entrances, shields or special boxes must be equipped to which cables fit. Often, they are attached with advertising stickers with the name of the provider.
Step 3
Ask younger neighbors. They can provide information on what services were offered in the home.
Step 4
Contact the management company. True, they are not required to provide such information, especially if you are not the owner of the home. Try to establish personal contact, compliment the pretty employee. Give her a small present and ask for help in a nonsense question - who is the provider in such and such a house. If you have a talent for communication, this option will not be difficult for you.
Step 5
Arm yourself with a list of providers who can provide services in the area or throughout the city, and routinely call their customer service. If companies use call centers, go to the operator and find out if such and such an address is connected to the Internet.
Step 6
Check with the provider via the Internet if your apartment already has the ability to connect. To do this, you need to use one of the sites that offer you to install the WHOIS information. This is the determination of your IP address and ISP using a special protocol. As a rule, it is enough just to press the button "Start", "Start" or similar. If you are required to enter an IP address to determine the provider, go to the Yandex service - https://internet.yandex.ru/, and it will be automatically determined for you. Enter the information received and read the results of its processing. The name of the company will appear there.
