	Well Dave, I totally disagree with you.  I've been with 6 ISPs and iStar was
one of them.  I can honestly say that iStar was far worse than the guy who
worked out of his basement.  I've had excellent service with Sympatico.  As
for cost, Sympatico is in line with the better ISPs for the services provided
and iStar is overpriced for no service.  iStar should be charged with false
advertising and grand theft.  I won't argue with you about Cyberus.

	Bottom line - There are many users who want to pay $10/month for all you can
surf and they want the ISP to come to their house to fix their PC problems as
well as teach them how to use the Internet.

Cheers,
Frank...
