Yeah, I used the Google portal up until recently, and caught flack
here and elsewhere. I use it now as a back up, or when I am online
away from my desktop. Melissa R. put me onto the News Services. I came
to realize that all I need for ISP is Internet Access. I do not need
the push content of the big ISP like AOL or others. MSN gives me 10
pop3 accounts, but otherwise I would rather go to specific content
providers for specific services that do a better job. The ISP
typically do not put a high priority on News service, so retention and
bandwidth suffered, so they are probably doing us all a favor to get
out of the business. I had read that Rogers was stopping the newserver
service, but if you still have reliable access to internet at a
reasonable price, then keep that and check out other content service
providers. OvO
