     You touch on it yourself when you compare the speed to ISIS. ISIS
is a terribly slow service provider compared to Istar or Netcom. I
know, I was with them for over a year. I noticed a massive difference
when I went over to Istar.
    IBM is  also not 33.6, at least I couldn't connect at that speed.
Finally, their connection conked out on me every 20 minutes or so.
    It'll be interesting to see what Sympatico does. I'm considering
them as a fallback ISP, especially if they up the standard hours per
month.
