Well, there are a lot of pretty satisfied Argonet/Voyager customers around,
including me. The latest versions of the email and news programmes are good
and robust. Download speeds can exceed 4000cps often (some report 7000cps!).
It's not entirely bug free, but what is? And Argo respond to people's
comments and complaints.

You could do a lot worse than Argonet/Voyager.
