Network Type indicates the method your device uses to connect to the internet. Knowing the network type can help in understanding your My IP address, IP info, and My IP location.

Common Network Types

• Broadband: High-speed wired connection (DSL, Cable). Often shows your IPv4 address in IP lookup.
• Fiber: Ultra-fast fiber optic connection. Ideal for home or office My IP address usage.
• Mobile: Cellular 3G/4G/5G connection. Your My network IP is dynamically assigned by mobile ISP.
• Satellite: Internet via satellite for remote locations. Can affect latency and IP info.
• Dial-up: Legacy connection using phone lines, mostly obsolete.

How Network Type Helps in IP Lookup

Detecting the network type of your My IP or My IPv4/IPv6 address helps in:

• Identifying if the connection is home, office, or mobile.
• Understanding ISP type and connection speed.
• Correlating Current IP address with device location and usage patterns.

Example

If an IP lookup tool shows Network Type: Fiber, it means your ISP provides a high-speed fiber connection. Your My IP address will typically be static or dynamic depending on ISP configuration.
