Picture the firms people pay every month purely to get online, from global fibre giants down to tiny member-owned outfits and mobile-only carriers: that whole field is fair game. Any commercial, municipal, cooperative or mobile operator selling internet access counts, even defunct ones; hardware vendors, websites and software brands do not.

How to approach it

Memory does the work here rather than deduction, so sweep the whole market instead of chasing a riddle. Any company that has ever sold a connection, whether a modem, a fibre line or a SIM card, deserves a place on your list. Begin with a couple of household giants to get moving, then deliberately leave them behind. Walk the alphabet in blocks, since the underlying register is enormous and sorted, and odd initials still hide real entries. Think of municipal utilities, member-owned cooperatives, campus research networks, wireless outfits covering a single valley, and carriers selling only mobile plans. Defunct dial-up brands and merged labels count as well, and every continent appears somewhere in the register. Keep writing until nothing else surfaces, because volume, not fame, is what pays.

Get a hint

Start from the names printed on advertising hoardings and monthly bills, then deliberately move away from them towards the rest of the market.

A little more

Much of the register consists of small regional outfits: member-owned cooperatives, municipal utilities and wireless providers covering a single county or valley.

One step further

The list spans every continent and runs alphabetically to the last letter, so niche local carriers, long-dead dial-up brands and mobile-only operators all qualify.

Why these answers count

Payout follows agreement, so the more entrants who type the same name, the smaller the reward becomes. A lone novelty entry, The World (ISP), collected the full 100 points, while the bulk of accepted answers settled at 85 and a thinner 60-point band caught names that plenty of players reached for at once. Everything in that middle tier, from 012 Smile and 019 Mobile to 1&1, 4fast.net and 123NET, sat on the record yet was shared by comparatively few people, which is why it paid close to the ceiling. Obscurity therefore beats fame: household brands that anyone can type within seconds bunch together near the bottom, whereas a carrier only a few hundred people could recall still earns almost full marks. Digit-led labels are unusually productive here, since whole stretches of the register are alphabetised that way and hardly anybody thinks to try them. Patient recall across the entire alphabet, instead of the first famous provider that springs to mind, separates the top band from the rest.
