I have a broadband connection. Can certain people tell which accounts on here are mine because of my ISP?? like yaho staff members? Because i'm wondering if that's how all my accounts keep getting deleted. Can they tell if one person has more than one account that way?

Yea, but someone told me my IP changes constantly too for security measures.

You can click on this and it'll tell you your number. Check it each time you get online and you'll be able to see if your number is different each time. It's a clean link, so no worries.
:D

every isp has an assigned range op IP adresses.
they can tell your ISP, yes.
and depending on how your isp is set up.
they might even know what street you live on.
but prob at least the neighborhood.
they tend to subdivide the numbers that way sometimes.
although SOME ISPs have realized the security flaw there,
onle some of them are randomizing them.

Yes they can tell who you ISP is but unless they are able to do a whois search most people are unlikely to find out who is using that ip address. Most whois servers are not being used anymore as it is a way to hack, steal user accounts. E-Mail servers are notorious for giving this information away without so much of a burp.

If you're on a broadband connection your IP won't change that much. And yes they can tell who your ISP is from your IP.

Yeah they can tell which accounts are yours, but Yahoo Staff can not delete your accounts for no reason.
I don't work for Yahoo or anything, but I have been on admin sites that are similiar, but I think they can tell how many accounts you have, but like I said before they can't do nothing about it because your whole family could be using Yahoo and all have seperate accounts.

They can tell simply by looking at your IP addy.
