Abstract
A communication system and method is disclosed for facilitating connection by a user to a selected one or more of multiple ISP's, thereby alleviating problems associated with providing a fixed link to a single ISP. Advantages may include ease of switching between ISP's and the system may enable a virtual ISP to be created having characteristics more suited to a user's need than the individual ISP's.
