Butch, Is Earthlink newsgroups still working for you? I'm getting
headers some of the time, but the message bodies won't download.

Hey Jim,

Dunno. Give me a ping.

Yes, my EL groups continues to work... at least most of the time. I had a
little difficulty earlier this AM but it was working again in a few minutes.

I've been with EL for only a few years but am becoming quickly disenchanted.
I use dialup and too often get a slower than 53K connection. That, combined
with the groups fiasco has me considering a change. Any recommendations?

The only other ISP I've used was AOL which became a total disaster, IMO,
back when I switched. BTW, they continue to owe me a couple of bucks in
refund $. Not enough for me to make a major issue of it but it certainly
reflects the corporate ethics at AOL.

Butch,

Go with ISL or real Broadband (cable). You will get 5-7kbs with a good
dialup connection, 175-250kbs with DSL and 3000-6000kbs with cable. I
am on Comcast, and my speed checks are always over 6000 kbs.

The Internet is completely different on broadband.
