<<Wanna see the "big problem of Tina C."???  Here it is:>>

-----------------
August 9th --
I could not gain access to CompuServe for 2.5 hours. I dialed different
numbers. I successfully tested the computer's ability by gaining access to
another service provider. I could not gain access to CompuServe's technical
support after waiting 30 minutes on the telephone.

August 10th --
I cancelled my account with CompuServe because CompuServe was not able to
meet their end of the contract by providing Internet Service.

<<[This is the full extent of the Tina C. complaint in substance. Liberator
has not provided any email address for confirmation of the story.]>>

This is not entirely true.  Please read the entire complaint for yourself at
http://www.liberator.net/special/CompuFraud.html so you can see all of the
miserable details.  There are details about a "cancellation fee" and the
horrors of CompuServe's customer service personel.  A CompuServe supervisor,
Rocky Buchanin, was unwilling to help Tina C.

[misdirection snipped, again]

After you read the complaint about Tina C., you'll find CNET's website
useful as you steer clear of over-bloated national providers and hunt down a
reliable, inexpensive provider.
