hi,

when we do things "through" the Internet, what is the correct preposition to use?

through? by? on?

"i will keep my address updated through the Internet"

"pls, can i notify my address change through the internet?"

"i don't have my complete new address here. when i have it, can i inform it through the internet?"

thanks,
jc

The correct preposition is on: on the internet
