 Basically in October of last year Netcom stopped updateing/upgradeing
their systems. They have no intrest in the home user. And from the numbers
I have seen, Netcom has gone from about 600,000 to around 500,000 users in
a year, quite an accomplishment in a industry that is as fast growing as
ISPs.
