LIST about Internet Service Providers SUMMARY

[Richard Dimock <red -at- ELSEGUNDOCA -dot- ATTGIS -dot- COM>]

Sorry, I goofed on this request and didn't include my direct email
address, thus causing more irreplaceable bandwidth to be consumed.
Buried in bandfills.

Maybe someday we will learn to recycle our lost bandwidth.

As y'all have noticed, I had a few replies to my requeat for lists about
Internet service providers. The replies had to come across the list, since
good ol' Artfully blew the direct route.

Anyway, to summarize:

For Raw list names, go to the Web page

        http://thelist.com/

        Tommy suggests a yahoo search may turn up other such lists.


For local providers, you may find something in your city like they
have in Dallas/Fort Worth:

        dfw.internet.providers


There is a news group that I assume would offer **opinions** {8Q  :

        alt.online-service

Karen suggests grepping your newsfeed for Internet Services. Sounds rather
(a) violent, (b) lewd, or (c) fattening. Humor, there.

Bill suggests reading computer mags for comparisons of providers. Sounds like
good advice. In other words, get involved rather than hoping someone else
can spoon feed you a solution you won't like anyway!

One datum I did find out is a negative vote for Net.Com. One dissatisfied
 customer.
He was not specific.  As a travelling consultant, Net.Com did not meet his
 needs.
It was this person's comment that started me thinking about a permanent home of
 my
own. It is hard to change once established - like dying for a while.
