Susie,
I use @home cable service on one of my PC's, and have been extremely happy with the reliability, speed and the tech support. The two times I had problems, I was able to reach a helpful and polite human on the phone within minutes, and was talked through the proper fix.
As for email, I have used Yahoo as my home page for a few years now, and I use their email as my main address. Yahoo gives you the ability to block mail from any sender, and also screens junk mail to be saved in a "bulk mail" folder. After using this address for a couple of years, and giving out as a registration email on several occasions, I am happy to report that I receive almost no spam (maybe 1 a month). If I do receive spam, I simply block that address and never hear from them again.
Good luck,
