What a case of "chopping off your nose to spite your face"!! Fact is, the

When ISTAR took over MAGI, everything in my estimation went straight down
the tubes. Problems with the "Net" were never "their problem" but that of
the customer. In my case every problem was due to ISTAR.

I don't want a "big" company either. All I want is access to E-mail, WWW,
and News Groups. All other "extras" offered by companies like ISTAR are of
absolutely no interest.

I want a "plain Jane" service and nothing more. My current ISP is FTN but,
they have been bought out by some crap outfit in Toronto so, when my
current contract expires so does my interest in FTN or whatever they call
themselves these days.

The service here since the takeover has gone into the toilet just like it
did when ISTAR took over MAGI.

Is there any way for the consumer to beat these monstrous and useless
situations?

By the time I get that far, even the Antarctic ice cap would melt from the
heat generated by the lack of service encountered.
