*ROFL* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets put it plainly - none of the members of previously named categories want me sitting on jury in criminal and/or civil trial! Up until quite recently my internet access was dial-up through a VERY local ISP [if any problem had occurred I could reasonably expect to complain to CEO/COO's father ;] They terminated dial-up access. [multiple implied jokes ;] I interviewed multiple potential vendors [ABSOLUTE requirement, local physical presence] I chose T-Mobile: 1. they had a local rep who actually listened to me. 2. they advertised how they handled going over your limit. They were doing EXACTLY what a certain common carrier was doing - that is until said common carrier got severe hand slap from FEDs <GRIN *LOL*> T-mobile ain't perfect. *HOWEVER*, I appreciate how they deal with problems.
