PLEASE HELP !!!

I now have an account with Primenet, I don't think I have to go too much deeper
into an explination as to why I need advice about Internet providers in the
Phoenix area.  In my quest for speed since I opened my account I have upgraded
to a 28.8 USR Sportster Vi DSVD along with a 486dx4.  Can't take advantage of
my system capibiilities with Primenet, can't even get through the BUSY signals
to try.  When I can connect I can look forward to fast data transfers
in-between long periods of waiting for server CPU time. 

(Personal opinion):

Primenet has simply over-booked their system capibilities and is soaking the
general public as long as they can before upgrading their operation to
accomidate their subscription base.

(End of Personal opinion)

I have basically accepted the fact that within the time frame around 1830 to
0100hr Primenet is useless.  It is true the contract allowes you 150 hr/mo for
$20.95, but if you have a typical day job you don't usually attempt to logon
until ~1900hr.  That pretty much cuts way back on 5 hours a day for a 30 day
month.

I'm not a difficult person to satisfy, but if a service is useles because of
over booking, why would I continue to subscribe?  I would happily use as a
reference anyone that can direct me to a modem connect Internet provider that
is acceptable at best.
