SithMaster2003 Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Which ISP do you use? What do you like about it? What do you hate about it? What do you want them to do to make it better? If you hate your ISP, which one would you switch to if you could? Currently I am using Road Runner. I love the incredible speeds. I hate the fact that there are days when the modem cuts in and out. I wish they could make it more reliable on those days. I like Road Runner too much to go back to AOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eets Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Ditto on everything you said, SM Cept I use AOL's BYOA plan, which is only $9.95 a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithMaster2003 Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 I also use the BYOA plan. I only use it for the e-mail and their server. I like having some e-mail address I can send all my junk mail to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannibal Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 AOL (Pray for me) It sucks only 3/4 of the time. It sucks 3/4 of the time Make it not suck. No specific one. But I don't want it to have the letters A, O or L in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithMaster2003 Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 Someone correct me if i am wrong, but isnt Internet Explorer just a web browser, not an ISP??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 your not wrong...Artoo he means who do you connect to when you connect to the internet...the company... Where did Netscape go??? It just disapeared from the online community... I use Cable...(the provider isn't entirely international so I won't tell you who they are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithMaster2003 Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 Netscape.... i think that would be another victim of that thing called a monopoly. you know, i cant really think of the name of the company with the monopoly..... maybe..... Micro-Soft...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 But Netscape was never bought out...they are still upgrading it...in fact I think it is up to 4.0 I think it was just discarded because more and more casual users came in and took over the internet...the tool that was an elite art, now is done everyday without all the complexity...And most of the casual users just didn't care too much what browser they used as long as it worked...

SithMaster2003 Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 well, as a web page designer i like the idea of many many people using just Internet explorer. that means the less browsers that web pages need to be customized to. in other words (for those of you who dont understand web pages very well) when i build a web page, i onle have to make it work with IE instead of other browsers. as a free citizen of the U.S.A., i dont really like the idea of all of the lesser-known browsers, i.e. netscape, disappearing from the market. people like to be able to choose what they want, and i think the fact that IE dominates most of the market, eliminates a persons choice as to which browser he/she can use. but that's just my opinion. P.S. monopolies make me want to do something evil.... so down with monoploies... down with monopolies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie Guy Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Please stop whining about IE. You can whine all you want about Windows, but IE is free, so your not getting shafted on anything. Besides, its not like Microsoft isn't making better versions of IE anymore just because the majority of people don't have a choice as what to use.

TheJackal Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 ROGERS@HOME only Canadians would understand. There are also Shaw and Videotron. I believe they are partners or just different branchs/name at different regions. It used to be crap but now it is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artoo Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Sorry about my above post. Netscape turned into internet explorer I guess. my ISP is IPA I do believe. Cause that's what comes up when I click dial-up. If that's not it I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
