Anybody use the free web site traffic stats in Google?

I used to use statcounter but my web guy has linked me to this new analystics. Thinkg is, I can't see where I can see the ISP of visitors as I used to be able to with statcounter.

He has gone on holiday and seeing hits I can't trace is frustrating as often I then know which of my phone calls etc have had an effect and I can follow them up.

Yes I use analytics for a load of management info about customers/usage etc etc.

ISP, kind of, can be found by going to Visitors > Network Properties > Network Location.

Thanks for that, I had found my way there and sometimes the City is useful but 87% of my hits ae London which I presume is simply the server location for one of the larger ISP's? On Statcounter it sometimes used to give the institution or company who had visted which was the useful bit.

I may be licensing the site soon so I suspect the licensee will take over he stats but I will suggest they find something which is more precise. I think analytics seems good for monitoring campaigns or advertising sources and things like visit length.
