The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The objective of the study is to analyze the consumers' attitude towards various internet service providers. The study is based on the primary data i.e. collected through field survey by well–structured questionnaire. For the study, 100 respondents have been taken from the Sirsa district. The data was analyzed by using various statistical techniques and tools such as Percentages, Frequency and Mean. The present article discusses the findings achieved through the study.
