What is an IP address?

Every device that connects to the internet gets assigned an IP address. If you've ever asked yourself "what is my IP?", the answer is the unique number your ISP gives your connection. It stands for Internet Protocol, and it works like a return address on a letter. When you load a website, stream a video, or send an email, your IP address travels with the request so the server knows where to send the response back.

Dynamic IP vs static IP: which one do you have?

Most home internet connections use a dynamic IP address. Your ISP picks an available address from their pool each time you connect, and it can change from one day to the next, sometimes without you even restarting your router. If you write down my IP today and check back in a few days, there's a decent chance it will be different. That's why people who search "whats my ip" don't always see the same result.

Is your connection as fast as it should be?

Now that you know your IP address, another question that comes up a lot is whether your internet speed is actually matching what your provider promised. Slow downloads, buffering videos, and laggy calls are all signs worth investigating.
