Frequently Asked Questions


What is an ISP?

ISP stands for internet service provider. An internet service provider is what someone in our business is called. Basically an ISP such as Cheshire Net provides access to the internet (usually purchased in bulk from a larger provider) for home and business users, provides consulting of various kinds related to the internet, and produces programming and services for the internet. Our primary job function is to correctly deliver TCP/IP packets to our subscribers, to produce and maintain services on our internet servers, and to provide custom consulting and programming related to internetworking, databases, the web, UNIX, and TCP/IP.
