Sometimes you need to know what kind of Internet connection you are using, for example, there are programs that can request such information. It is not at all difficult to find out, and the instructions are given below.

internet service provider, internet connection
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is to ask your system administrator (if you are at work) or call your ISP if you are at home.
Step 2
If this is not possible, click "Start". In the menu that opens, select "Control Panel" (in Windows XP, you first need to click "Settings").
Step 3
Select "Network and Internet Connection" (may be called "Network and Sharing Center", depending on the version of Windows).
Step 4
In the new menu, select "Network Connections" or "Manage Network Connections" (again, depending on the version of Windows, in Windows 7 it may be called "Changing adapter settings").
Step 5
There you will see your connection type. For example PPPOE (high speed connection) or PPTP (VPN).
Step 6
Another possible option is to hover your mouse over the internet (usually located immediately to the left of the volume icon in the bottom panel). Click on the icon once. The first line displays the network you are connected to, and the second displays the type of connection. If you need more detailed information, click on the inscription at the very bottom of the window, a menu opens, in the left pane, select "Change adapter settings".
Step 7
If you need additional information, for example, your IP address, then this can be easily found on specialized sites. Enter the query: "my IP" in the search engine. The necessary sites will be displayed as the first or second line in the search engine results. There you can find a lot of additional information.
