Haim - I can't for the life of me understand why, here west of Boston, the cable companies haven't seized the opportunity to take advantage of the hopeless incompetence of the DSL providers. Instead, in my town, they've moved out the cable ISP date till mid 2002! As for AOL, it's just another Microsoft. Look at that crock Gecko-powered Netscape 6.0. How could they have possibly rendered a simple browser so frigging slow? And I see essentially no added value beyond 4.xx, except it's possibly slightly less likely to crash. They're all thieves... it's only question of which one to take our money.

I wish there were more competition on DSL and cable service. Haim, That's why I'm moderately bullish on COVD, which might be the last clec DSL provider left. Message 15670699 By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols The DSL CLEC's constantly cry that Baby Bells are treating them unfairly, with poor service and high charges designed to squeeze them out of business. At long last, with AT&T, Covad Communications found someone to listen to them who can make a difference. On April 12, it became clear that the New York Public Service Commission (PSC) was likely to find that Verizon was grossly overcharging Covad and other CLECs. Verizon's New York and Massachusetts subsidiaries changed their power rate structure, which had been tripling the CLEC's co-location rates. The new rates take effect immediately.
