Well Kelly, I have been using InternetNow for about 5 months and haven't had any real 
problems. Occasionaly I will have periods of time where logging in is a pain, however I 
have come to expect that with ever server. I don't really think they have any more 
problems than any of the other providers out there (especially AOL). As for the credit 
card thing, I can't comment on that, I always send them a check & things go fine.
