I'm wondering how the users of Mindspring justify paying $35 a month
plus a $35 startup fee when there are plenty of services around for
$20 a month.  I know most of these services are crap from experience
but does everyone else?    I'm thinking about switching to MIndspring
but am having hard time with the rates since I haven't been able to
try them myself to see if they measure up.  How's the newsfeed, the
speed, the mail?  What exactly is their software?  Is it some kind of
dialer?  How well does it work under win 95?

It's my conclusion you don't get good access for $20 a month.  I've
had a half dozen providers since I graduated from college and none of
them has yet to measure up to the account I had in college.  Sprynet
is the latest disappointment.  The thing is every provider will tell
you "newsfeed is great, system is fast," and then you pay and find it
ain't so.  

I'm convinced a high priced service such as concentric or Mindspring
will at least have fewer subscribers leaving their respective system
load low.
