I got an unadvertised deal from Qwest, which is called Qwest basic, for
which I pay $25/mo for 256K DSL. I don't even get an email address for
that price, just a pipe to the internet.

I pay $6/mo to AT&T for webhosting, 6 email addresses, and usenet. I
had been with AT&T when I was on dialup, and I did not see a good reason
to move.

If I did not need webhosting I would probably have gotten a cheap or
free POP3 email account. Google is offering a free POP3 account nowadays.

The reason people go with AOL is not stupidity, it is convenience

Choosing convenience can be a form of stupidity.

It is convenient just to put your savings into a bank account that does not
keep pace with inflation. It is also a stupid thing to do.

doing what their friends and family does. Despite having a few college
degrees, it took me a lot of effort to get my Qwest/AT&T DSL service
working correctly. Most people would probably be better off hiring a
tech guy to get it all working.

Was it Barnum who said "Show me a Fool, and I will show you a way to
separate him from his money!" or something along that line OvO

As an AOL customer (and now an MSN customer?!?!?!) you would know! vOv

Nope, you must have me comfused with someone else, I never had AOL,
and MSN gets pushed on us by Qwest DSL. All they provide now is
Internet portal, 24/7 support for DSL, and 10 pop3 accts. There are
other DSL providers, but they just rebundle Qwest DSL, since there is
just the one network. I have been considering Comcast that provides
higher speed, but more expensive, and I can only type so fast,KKKnnnn
