Re: [aclug-L] Modem problem? or ISP?

["Jeffrey L. Hansen" <jhansen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That very reason is why I dumped Feist three years ago.  It was connection 
roulette 90% of the time and seemed to be the same no matter when in the 
day I connected.  I finally had enough about the time I moved to 
Clearwater, but would have dumped them anyway.  It seems like most people 
are happy with Southwind, but I'll probably start an ISP holy war by saying 
that, and I have no direct experience with any other provider here except 
Sprynet and I'd definitely advise against using them.
