What makes you think I have any prejudices?
I don't recall my ever saying 'AOL *puke*'.
Work rounds? Software limitations? Impositions?
The main reason I'm still with BT is that it allows me to dial in from
any BT phone, without having to register the number - which means I
can use it from work and at home. Surprisingly few ISPs allow this.
One-tel comes pretty close.....
I can't remember when I last had a problem with BT - it's one of the
reasons I'm still with them - either I'm lucky or BT is better in this
area?

One of the reasons that AOL is the best narrow band dial up in the UK
is that it is avoided like the plague by all the oldbies.
Except those who have tried all the rest and cannot get broadband.

Most people have AOL prejudices
AOL allows this also; the snag being you have to install their stupid
software
I was with BTi when they first went 24/7 and tried them again a couple
of years ago. The connection would often go to sleep for a while.
If you are happy with your package, by all means stay with it

Then it's not unlimited. Gotcha.
That's how our cell phone deals are cut, over here, with respect to
on-air minutes, as in a monthly limit of: "500 anytime, 2000
night/weekend". You take 'em when you want 'em; but you don't exceed
'em.
(Because past those limits, they're outrageously expensive.)

Do they now.
Ah right, I'm only guessing now but I'd imagine that's quite a big
snag for the average finely honed W9x setup.
Now it's funny you mention that, 'cos it sometimes does it on my work
connection, but never at my home one.
It could be down to equipment ( different modems ) or the fact that
the work connection is so far from the exchange I can't even have a
second line or ISDN. ( Broadband??? Bwahahahhaaa ).
I have to limit the speed, but then I have to limit it with Claranet,
Tiscali, and every other ISP I've tried.
If you are happy with your package, by all means stay with it
I'm keeping my options open...

Yes. Did no-one ever tell you this? AOL is an absolute laughing stock,
the length and breadth of usenet. See DC's response to me earlier. I
am glad to be able to educate you in this respect.

I don't forsee that being an issue, but all these admails I'm getting lately
have me exploring a few interesting hardware upgrade plans.

Yeah, one time, big deal. If you want, I can probably cobble together
a working filter for you.

AOL is for people who can't handle the Internet.

The embarrassing thing is, your post made me go back and look at mine,I was talking about the language in the post DC had just replied
to.
and I realised that there were 2 errors in the spelling of
whakawhetainui (many thank). There was a great NZ comedian who created
a character called Abe Whakatawhainau. When said properly and fast, the
surname is indistinguishable from "f*cked if I know"
