I have DSL with Verizon but their ISP side (third party) email accounting and third party billing sucks, having charged me for $400 for some glitch in their system a year ago (totally not my fault) and then they shut me down for not paying it. Their system has too many bureaucrats and nothing seems to happen. What do you guys find to be a good ISP? (I will have Verizon DSL but need an ISP to go with it).

Randy,
We use Comcast Cable, which seems to be pretty good. I don't know if it's available in your area or not. If not, there might be another cable company that offers cable Internet service.
I used to be with Earthlink prior to Comcast. It seemed to be fine also, but I only had 56k service with them.

I have Roadrunner. It is a cable service provided by Time Warner Cable. I like it a lot.

hi speed down link, low speed uplink
Freepeace,
Are you in Atlanta? I'm moving there soon and I'm having one helluva time arranging for high-speed broadband service. We'll be in Decatur, right down the street from the college.
Any insights?
Many thanks,

Hi Randy,
I've had Verizon DSL for over a year now, and concur with you that their services beyond providing access are seriously lacking. We moved recently and I haven't even bothered setting up the e-mail.
FreePeace mentioned Earthlink - they DO have DSL available in some areas. When they were my primary ISP (dial-up) I thought they were incredibly consistent. They're available 24/7 for tech support. I had no problems whatsoever. They provide a monthly newsletter via snail-mail which is full of cutting-edge IT info too...
(PS: just visited your site again yesterday... can't praise it highly enough..... thank you)

I use Starband, which is a satellite connection. You have to buy the satellite which is expensive ($800) but then the monthly fee is only $75 and that includes Static IP.
If interested, I can tell you how you can cut the monthly cost also.

lilacs,
Is that $75 for satellite telivision service along with Internet access? What are your upload and download speeds?
Thanks,
Hmmm
Hmmm, You do get a discount for also having satellite telivision but it is only a $15 per month discount. As far as the download speed. I am not sure how you find that out. I only know that what used to take 5 to 10 minutes to download, now only take about a minute. If you tell me how to find the actual speed, I will let you know.
