Just a note from someone who IS an ISP....
There is no business case for $9.95 Internet unless you oversell your
bandwidth and lines. It may be fast today or when W4AX is using it, but I
promise it won't be forever or always. Customer service will be worse
than AT&T and Mindspring (hard as that is to believe).
Go with someone small, and you'll get great customer service and faster
connections.
Or, get what you paid for.
