Agree. They're full service without the proprietary browser and email
address selling of AOhelL. If you travel much they are great - they seem
to have local dialin coverage everywhere, including europe, which saves
big $$ on hotel LD charges. They also have DSL service available in many
areas. However, it seems their "unlimited" modem service price will be
going up to $21.95 soon, but I don't know if that will apply to you.
