You use what you have access to. Some of us don't have multipule choice
regarding ISP's or cable TV
for that matter. It took 7 years to get cable TV up here in the mountains
yet we have 5 ISP's to choose
from. Go figure. And AOL is the largest ISP corporation in the word. That
hardly rates as a wannabe.
