jedimasterk Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Earthlink sucks!!!. This is the second time that they charged me for simultaneous hours. From $21.95 to $23.95 a month. They never even credited my account after the first time it happened. All I own is one single computer. This is BS!. I need recommendations for a new ISP. All I have now is dial-up modem!. Plan on getting cable modem some day. When prices drop!. What do you all suggest. $21.95 month limit!. Thanks!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockz Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 If you are gonna go national ISP don't get AOL. I switched from AOL to MSN and what a difference. Less Disconnects (like never now) and they are going to support V.92 modems with MSN 8.0. MSN Explorer is pretty cool, and MSN 8.0 is supposed to blow AOL's prog away (from what I've heard). Other ones are AT&T Worldnet and Prodigy. With MSN you can have a 3 year gaurentee of 21.95 a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimasterk Posted May 25, 2002 Author Share Posted May 25, 2002 I heard that MSN may charge more by the end of the year. And I had Prodigy but had frequent disconnects. Do you like MSN!. AOL charges way to much anyway. That's why their losing customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liar2 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 yeah. stay away from AO-HELL. they are switching their browser to netscape anyways. and i know that not too many people like netscape. i heard that verizon dial-up service is alright, but everyone i know *****es about their broadband services being down all the time.

Hypercube Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Msn is great! I use it when I am away from my cable, and as said before, there are rarely any disconnects. Just stay away from AOL, or Compuserve.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 25, 2002 what about the new juno/netzero service? it's 9.95/month and doesn't seem all that bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 well i think it's a no-brainer to not go to AOL. Why don't you get cable or dsl? I know OptimumOnline cable is $29.99/month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use dial up networking instead, unlike AOL. All you do for the username is put: MSN/username and then your password. So you can use whatever browser you want, instead of having to connect though MSN Explorer instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
