ISP's

[Chris Midkiff]

Before I went to broadband (Roadrunner), I used PlanetKC for about 2 years.
Service was very stable, they had no problems supporting 'nix users
(although they were not really that much help) and they have some pretty
good features.  Discounts for paying more than one month at a time, a "Two
Min Guarantee" where if you get a busy signal for more than 2 min, drop them
an email and the month's bill is on them.  I used this twice in two years,
and they really did credit the account for a month's service.

The only downside is that there are no local numbers outside the KC area.  I
received one email from them each time a payment was due, but nothing I
would consider spam.

Broadband rules.

I know this is not really on the Linux topic, but can anyone direct me
to a good dial-up ISP in the KC area?
I have signed up with Grapevine and found that most of their operations
are less than desirable.

<rant> The first time I checked my POP3 mailbox provided by them I
received 5 advertisements.  I have no
problem with spam, everyone get some. But I would assume that the ISP
would not sell the addresses of there customers
to third party's.</rant>

If anyone would be so kind to point me to a good ISP, I would be most
appreciative!
