I've just jumped ship, to Midmaine Communications. Our dial-up account was
just set up today, and I haven't had time to change my E-mail
configurations. (The "@ptfolkschool.org" adrress will still work.) I've
had the same experiences with MINT as Jill and Cynthia, including a big
increase in spam. Like Cynthia, I had just figured that the spammers had
finally caught up with me, but maybe it is connected with the Adelphia
takeover. MINT/Adephia, by my count, has had 4 day-long outages in the
past couple of months, and the last one, on Saturday, pushed me over the edge.
I've had a good experience (so far) working with Midmaine in setting up DSL
for the Forest Society of Maine, they're local, and an MIdmaine unlimited
dial up account with 4 mailboxes is $6/month cheaper than Adelphia, if you
pay 6 months in advance -- so I thought I'd give it a try. Even if the
service is good, I still worry about them being bought out by a larger
company, like happened to MINT.
