Detection of internet provider

I’ve used Fing & fingbox as long as there has been such a thing - I guess 4-5 years. It’s always detected my internet provider correctly as VirginMedia. Yesterday VM increased my broadband speed (although I hadn’t asked for that). Now Fing detects the provider as M247. Can anyone explain what’s going on here? Thanks

    Hey @WhatsupDoc
    May I ask you to sign out of the fing app and do a manual scan and see which ISP name shows up?

    Whilst awaiting your response I recalled that I’d been looking at an app-based VPN and had omitted to close it down; doing so put the ISP back to VirginMedia.
