I paid $16 per month at indirect.com for a shell account with 150 hours of
usage.  I just upgraded to a PPP account.  It is $21 per month, with 150
hours of usage.  It is not possible for an ordinary retaile user to use
150 hours - that comes to 5 hours per day.

However, regarding crappy service, we have a basic economic problem here. 
Each ISP maximizes his profits bt increasing his customer base faster than
his capital base - ie., increase customers faster than phone lines,
modems, and computer capacity.  That is a fact.  The only thing that will
solve this problem is more people getting into the ISP business.  We need
more competition among Internet Service Providers.
