isp has changed without my knowledge?

andyxeno · 05-29-2008, 01:33 PM

Hi,not quite a total noob but puzzled and asking for help please. i have broadband from aol and just by out of interest i went online to find my ip address and was given a address ok,location not ok [right country though nowhere near]and my isp was also listed,but this was listed as carphone warehouse not aol?i don't have any products from them ie mobile so i'm puzzled.Could my isp have changed?or my pc hijacked [though why this i don't know]or do the 2 companies work hand in hand? I thought i'd ask you clever people before i try aol tech support as they seem to read from scripts and are no real help as i've found in the past.Anyone had similar experiences? please help. thanks
