AOLhell

Then I tried to get DSL thru "Bellatlantic"

They wasted a month of my time,trying to help me activate it.
It turns out the local office was only in "test" mode;they were not ready for DSL yet.

I was really glad to get Roadrunner/cble access.

AOL back in the day.
We went from version 1 to about 5.0.
Back in those days, you didnt need the stupid program. You could just use Windows "Dial-Up Manager" if you knew the phone numbers.
If you did it that way, AOL was actually a good ISP.

Netcom back in the early 90s. Freshman year of college in 97 (dorm LAN), then DSL in my second year of school--been broadband ever since.

Woohoo you finally enabled your profile and PM's.

Life is tough isn't it?

Prodigy first, then AOL, then local library provided dialins, then netzero free dialup.

First AOL (gag)
Then Netcom
Then Pac Bell (for years)
Then Access-4-Free
Now my present ISP

At one point or another I used all of the following:
Compu$pend (Had to have this back in the Novell 3.x days to get Novell support)

Delphi - Was actually a decent Compu$pend type service

Prodigy - The golden age for this was when there were no timed charges, dropped it like a hot potato the moment they changed the TOS.

AOHell - Blehh

Netcom shell account. (Had this from 1991 until it was shutdown) :thumbsup:

prodigy
then compuserve (not for very long)
then flash.net

We had CVIP (Central Valley Internet Project) from 1996 to 2004.

I started with Earthlink. Then I moved to another state and used a local dialup provider until I got cable.
