I'm looking into swapping ISP's and was wondering who you use,and more importantly,do you like them? Worth the $$ or not? Thanks!
What ISP do you use?

Bellsouth. And I really like their service. I use DSL at work 
and dial up at home.

Depends on what is available as far as bandwidth options. Find who are your broadband providers, local telco, local cable co, etc.

Mike, get the dsl or cable service if you can.
Mine is Charter Cable and is super fast.
Sometimes I wonder if its worth the money though, but it is
really fast.
Later.
ps: did you get the last email from me, I was joking about the wife, that was her idea.

Sorry guys,I guess I should have specified that it's a dial-up thing. And yes,Mark,I got the E-mail. I just figured it she was writing that since the "word" was involved :laugh:

I have a Fiber connection, and a local, no-name ISP. I get this service, as well as my TV with all the channels for free with my rent. Reasonable rent as well.
My Fiber runs easily as fast as a T1 line.

The sattelite internet is $400 for hardware and $40 a month service. Luckily I have parents to pay for this.....

According to their site:
http://www.starband.com
Starbband is still overpriced, $699 for the hardware unless you can find it on ebay, $200 installation fee, required that it be setup by a qualified/certified starband installer, and $69 a month for their USB connected xceiver, no eithernet so to run additonal pc's you need their *recommended* software. Glenn Baker had it for a while.
Your pricing got my attention,If you got it for $400 and $40 where did you get it from ??
