What I mean is that they are starting to undertake the same policies 
that ID has done.  Cutting off customers, false advertising etc. Now 
they are saying if you use over 100 hours a month you now have to pay 
extra.  In my case that is bait and switch. Not that I personally 
care since I don't use over that but it is the same type of practice 
that had everyone at ID upset. Also one of the reasons I joined 
another ISP.  I wanted to know how the industry as a whole was 
conducting themselves with regards to their advertising policies.  I 
think we have a problem in the industry that needs some contols 
placed on it!vanepp@vanbc.wimsey.com wrote:
