All dialups are slow... Get DSL... I can only comment on Bellsouth.. I get tech
support within a minute or two every time i call.. Just bought a new computer
and couldn't find my disk. they emailed what i needed while i talked to them on
the phone.. my dsl was working fine on the other computer.. so it wasn't even
really their issue..
