i am about to go into ISP pergitory
i am moving, we'll turn off the cable at the old house next week (T-W RR)
i haven't found a dial up ISP with a local number at the new house yet
Sprint has a special deal on wireless, $80/month for "unlimited" service , this is tempting, if i have to dial up long distance, it might push me into Sprint's clutches. we are within 2 miles of the sprint tower, the signal is good. the speed is slightly better than dial up and i could kill the second phone line
still it will be about 2x the cost for sprint wireless vs. dialup, unless i have to pay long distance for dialup
i am not considering satellite at this time, i think the latency would drive me crazy

Roadrunner isn't in my area, plus I foregot about it, my fault, plus I'm sure that I missed several others so I just left them as others.
L M A O! I agree, disconnects, goodbye-click, etc! R O F L. I really don't know why anyone would use AOL any way! Someone I work with was over charged by AOL twice and now he is with Bellsouth, he dropped AOL like a bad habbit. I guess it's because when you walk in to a store, such as Wally World (Wal Mart), you see the free CD's everywhere. Folks there are a lot better things out than AOL (let the mud slinging beginOriginally posted by: Confused
No one who has AOL is going to be able to post/respond to the poll, anyway

).............. and no I don't work for any ISP, but I was just curious about who uses what. Charter. They've been upping my bandwidth steadilly over the last year. I've gone from 512k/128k to somewhere around 1.5m/256k.
