Trouble with ISP
By Seth Weinstein
I'm having an awful lot of trouble with AOL, and would like to switch to another service provider. Does anyone know the telephone number for Errol's? I called the 800 operator without luck. Also, anyone know of a good smaller provider in South Jersey area? Please e-mail me. Thanks.

[ Editors note:
[
[ Seth, read the ads for Internet Serivce Providers (ISP's) in your local
[ newspaper. In my local paper they are typically placed near the
[ Business or Sports sections.
[
[ AOL is facing a lawsuit that they have failed to provide service as
[ promised. I feel lucky that _my_ ISP is almost always available and
[ working properly at all hours of the day, for $20/month. That's how I
[ communicate with the Jody's "foxtail" computer. Jody lives 90 miles
[ from me; the back-up method is an expensive telephone call which
[ connects my computer directly to foxtail.
[
[ Nonetheless, upon hearing of the problems which AOL and many other
[ ISP's are having with "flat-rate service", I am now willing to return
[ to "metered service" and pay a fee for each minute that I'm connected.
[
[ I believe that an ISP charging by the minute will provide service as
[ promised in a professional manner, and the children monopolizing the
[ telephone and Internet circuits with their Web Browser toys will
[ quickly disappear when the bill comes!
