Who was your first ISP?

Way back in the dial-up days, who did you use?

As I recall, the list was:
ITOL (local)
GreenBayNet (local)
NetNet (local) after being bought out
NetPenny
SBC (AT&T) DSL
 
A local BBS system I think. Then it was AOL for a bit. Then a local place here, UPLogon.com (I think).
 
As a student, I could dial in through my college's network.

After graduating, I got an account with IBM. I forget what they called their ISP division.
 
When I used AOL, I think they only offered FTP, Gopher, Usenet, and maybe one or two other things as far as the Internet goes, so I don't think I'd consider them an ISP at that point. First real ISP was Fastnet (local company).
