    is there a cli command to list the name of my isp?

    or any other way to easily get the name of my isp?
    i want to do something like this:
    Code:
     lynx -dump http://slurpware.org | whois | grep "role:"
    but i just get the whois help text output
    how would one write this correctly?

    slurpware.org gives you only the ip address as output
    then i want to pipe that ip address into whois
    then grep only the line called "role:" (and as an added bonus, how would i exclude the text "role:" so i just get its value?)
