Cable no prob.

[Joe]

Cable (optonline) is big $$ for me, you can not get a break with out taking
a expensive Cablevision
TV package on Long Island. (the highest catv rates in the country)
I have Dish TV and a rooftop and go dialup
Mindspring in the tri state area is perhaps the worst on the east coast
since the Earthlink takeover.
They want all the dial up people to die, now Mindspring customers must share
access with Earthling members.
However !..... Mindspring customers can not use Earthlink access numbers.
Mindspring has gone to hell ..........worse than AOL ever was.
All lousy pings, busy signals, I now have to sign on a 7:AM and leave my PC
on all day on the fax line.
