Mike: I'm on the same dial up service for 6 years now. Over that time it has continually gotten slower. In the past 3 months I'm getting situations where the server can't handle the traffic flow, or so I think. I get messages like; line you are dialing is busy, number you are dialing is not responding, plus other dumb excuses. The way I have it figured, if they have that many new customers and are that busy, it's time they reinvested and upgraded some of their equipment.
I once got a parking ticket, city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, metered parking, and with little time for an appointment. After parking my car, I find out the meter is not working. When I came back, had a ticket. I send a sharp letter off to city hall, pointed out to them I was the business of hiring equipment out by the hour, quite similar to their damn meter. I further stated that if my equipment was broke down it didn't bring in money.
I've tried the same tactics with Ma Bell couple of times, and both times they gave me a credit on my internet. Next one I'm going to try is sending them a bill for my time sitting in front of this screen waiting for something to download. Remember, back when I first got dialup, my daughter would come from the city, surprised at how much faster my dialup was, than her city high speed. That was 1998, I've used her high speed, see little change over the years. The change in dialup is vast by comparrison. Plain and simple the Internet servers have been picking up rural business big time, and not reinvesting a nickel. Way I have it figured, parked in front of this screen, waiting should be worth lawyers fees.
Remember Mike, squeeky wheel gets the grease, just time we started squeeking louder.

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
