Re: Browsers-costs (ISPs)

[Charles Lenington]

well some of us are forced to live in the sticks by our wives. one you 
get outside 1(?) mile of central office you are lucky to get dialup. 
when we moved out here in 1994 GTE wanted 20. 00 per mile per line for 
(telephone lines) dialup, that lasted about 30 seconds, i went 
ballistic. ended up at normal 2 line charges. so at the time i had to 
use aol @ 6 cents per minute, at least we had 4 screen names. we finally 
got local isp @19.95 for one screen name, with extra screen names, full 
rates each. dumped aohell and now also have davisp.com (no local access, 
i just use email) for 14.95 and 5 screen names.

Of course, if you find anyone on duty with mac experience, they only 
support os x
still can't get cable or dsl @ 6 miles from town

which brings us back to topic: don't give up looking. questions should 
be detailed on where you are in relation to city/provider .  good luck

Hopefully someone else on the list can give you recommendations for a
Mac friendly ISP...

They love Macs.  They let you do what you want with your bandwidth.  
They
ENCOURAGE you to run a server.  They have dial up numbers all over 
the US.
They will let you change an email address in less than 3 minutes.  
They will
let you add static IP's in less than 3 minutes.  I have had one 
period of
SCHEDULED down time in the last year that lasted 3 hours and I was 
warned
about it weeks in advance.  DSL Reports has them as the highest rated 
ISP in
the nation. 
And here's my favorite part:

If you *have* to call technical support a polite and roughly 30-35 
year old
technically skilled white male living in Seattle answers the phone on 
the
first ring after the prompt and treats you with respect while 
IMMEDIATELY
fixing your problem.

(((note about above...I am not a racist or sexist, it just seems to 
be that
way every time I have had to call technical support)))

I could not be happier with them and will NEVER switch ISP's.

I've got a HUGE problem with the 'white male' line. And I'm one of 
them. The disclaimer makes up for nothing.

Happy New Year to ALL!
