If you're thinking of using AGT as an ISP or already using them, you should
be aware of problems with the Edmonton News Server...
Since AGT doesn't want anyone to know, I thought I'd fill you in
myself...enclosed is a copy of the Email exchange on the news problem:


EMAIL FOLLOWS:

So, what you're telling me is that I've wasted about 10 hours online time
trying to do things I need to do, as well as troubleshooting my system,
because "Alberta's Reliable Internet Service" has a problem they didn't
bother to E-Mail or post on the web page (which, I might add, I check for
problems on a daily basis)??

I'm starting to think the local ISP is a better idea, despite being a
slower connection - at least they let their users know when there's a
problem.  Nice customer service, guys.
