I have finally had it with en.com's poor service and insulting customer
service. Can anyone suggest a local ISP?
This is what I am looking for.
1) Not conintually busy. (This is the only thing en.com doesn't do.)
2) Does not consistently drop carrier after 10 minutes.
3) Does not lose the newsfeed on a weekly basis as well as all the
newsgroups
being reset to zero.
4) They would not rather send you mail about their TV appearences than
send you mail that the news-server will be going down for 12 hours.
5) As well as, I don't want want-ads and other junk mail generated by my
provider consistently being sent to me.
6) Have to call 5-6 times to a ringing modem before one will connect
(this is
as bad as busy lines)
7) Does not take 3-5 minutes to post a message to the newsgroups.
8) Has an expiration date of longer than 3 days on news aticales (i think
they fixed this...)
9) And ISP that actually answers the users quesitons when the post to
a problem board (ie: en.problems)
10) And lastly, I am looking for an ISP that does not have the management
style of a lemonade stand.
I would deeply appreciate it if anyone can suggest a provider, I want to
change this week.

ps. Please, en.com cheerleaders, keep the lies in your pants.
