What ISP are you using?

Right now I have AOL and lets just say that I hate it and want to switch. I had MSN a while back but the contract was up and I don't have a credit card that I could renew with. I actually got decent service with them, way better than what I get with AOL.

What I want to know is what ISP you guys are using so I can find an alternative to AOL. Right now cable and DSL are out of the question because of finances, but hopefully soon I will be able to get one of those. The only problem is that I do not have a credit card so I need one that allows the use of a debit card for payment. So far the only one that I have found is AOL. That is also the reason why I had to leave MSN because the only way to pay was with a credit card and I had cancelled my credit cards.

Whether you use cable, DSL or dialup, what are you using?

I would suggest Sprint if they have it in your area.

Here I use *** High Speed Cable. Works great. When I go home to my parents who have dial-up I get pissed at how slow it now seems. It cost me $39.95 plus taxes.

When I go home to my cable, I get mad at how blasted slow it is, got cable at home, T3 at work, and my folks have got 56k, now THAT is slow....I remember when I used to play Starcraft online with a 24.4k modem, and even with a 14k

Net Zero. 10 bucks a month, unlimited access, no stupid extra features (like AOL). Great service, haven't had any problems with them.

Comcast. When I had dialup I used MSN, AOL, and netzero. MSN was the best, netzero was pretty good but I hated AOL.

I use MSN, billed through my phone, thus no credit card required. Not that I am thrilled with MSN, just easier to pay this way.

I use NetZERO.

9.95 a month, unlimited use, tons of local dial-up numbers, never a busy signal, never get dropped, can stay logged on for hours, full 56K service. Not bad for dial-up. AOHell sucks!
