Oh, yeah, my incoming/outgoing mail servers through my ISP are pretty pissy. I have a hard time finding an FTP client that works and it sometimes gets toasted, too. I use AOL as well and it frequently has trouble getting a complete connection, causing it to not always be able to view websites, but can do IM and email fine, usually. Instant messaging programs are usually fine.
Get another ISP.
Betcha they're using poorly configured web caching or something, or if it's cable, your local segment is hosed.
Don't let 'em tell you it's 'a Mac thing'.
I don't know of many other DSL services in Toronto that aren't just business providers. There's "AOL High Speed Edition", which may or may not support Macs and in any case I don't think you can network with it as easily, I don't always want to be connected to AOL when I'm online, there's Primus, which is evil and screwed me over so bad when they bought out the company that provided my dialup service a few years ago that I switched to AOL because it was better, and cable is a zillion times worse.
