I made it multi choice incase you have more than one.

I got Bt

email is web-based. broadband is other.

Rogers for me, and its bullshit. they have a total monolpoy in my area so they can charge whatever price they want to, which is too much

Clearwire

I run my own email servers

Christ, how many emails do you need? (I saw the poll when it had only one voter - you). Me, I have my age old yahoo one and a sucky one provided by my university which I have to check otherwise I can get in to loads of shit. They also provide internet, which is sucky. Use it at off peak times and the page loads as soon as you click the link. Use it at peak times and it's like a 28k modem.

Were do rogers have a monopoly?

We run good now ... we bought another 32 MBps at our univ (min)

We run good now ... we bought another 32 MBps at our univ (min)Bastard. My damn university sold off the student accomodation ISP and so it provides the bare minimum, has a complete monopoly and you pay for the service through accomodation fees, so you can't opt out.

I've got multiple accounts in Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail, Epals, and Gmail - the last being my main address.

Yeah where is we purchesed more over the state given 12 MBps

I have all my ISP and Uni and Landsting (a sort of county-like administrative division concerned with issues that fall between national government and local municipal government, such as healthcare and public transportation and so on) mail forwarded to Gmail.

My ISP is one of the minor major ones here, though not mentioned in the list.

Sbc Dsl.

email from, msn, yahoo, gmail...a few others.
internet= privet access from one of the local providers i know.

Gmail, and Optimum Online

Were do rogers have a monopoly?


Southern Ontario...specifically Kitchener...and its annoying

This is sort of an ambiguous poll. What exactly are you talking about? ISP, browser, Internet-based email provider? Whatever. In that order:

Road Runner
IE or FF, depending on what I randomly click first
Hotmail and Gmail

OK, who's the sad sack who has Verizon? Seriously, you're either a glutton for punishment or a colossal moron...do yourself a favor and cancel your service.

OK, back to the topic - I have free Yahoo. I suppose I could use my RoadRunner e-mail, but I don't feel like it.

ISP is YahooBB! at home, email through the university I graduated from and a number of free webmail ones.

I have Verizon DSL, and I'm starting to dislike them. Or at least Verizon in general. My phone completely died the other day, as in I get no dial tone (I used to get a lot of static, and then no dial tone) but my DSL works fine. In the same jack. And Verizon is taking their sweet ass time in figuring out what is wrong.

umm... poor choices, but whatever.

i wasn't quite sure what to pick, so i kept with what i know, and that's msn.

Telecom New Zealand (Xtra) and Gmail

Unless you're part of a major outage, don't expect Verizon to crack the whip getting your service fixed. And if they have to come to your home, be prepared to park it there from 8 AM to 5 PM or later...or at least to have someone there. And don't expect them to call first. And if they show up and you're not there, they close your order out and assume everything's OK. So if you go out at noon to get some takeout Chinese, and you're gone for 20 minutes, and that tech knocks on your door and you're not there, then you're completely fucked.

By contrast, I have Time Warner and they have treated me very well, even if they are a bit pricier. You get what you pay for, I suppose. They give me a two-hour window for technician visits, and if they can't do that, they call me a half-hour before they come; it never fails. I can get them out the next day for service outages, and any massive outage is fixed within a few hours. I pay twice as much for cable as I would for SBC DSL, but it beats the hell out of dealing with the phone company, and frankly I would rather not have an internet connection than sign up for Verizon DSL. It's not available where I live, and if it was, they would take forever provisioning me.

I have this to say about Verizon DSL: It sucks. Subscribe at your own risk. Oh yeah, and Time Warner didn't make me sign a contract. I can cancel whenever I damn well feel like it.

AOL.

*Cries*

The Horror. Seriously. Steer well clear. Anyone but. Seriously.

Although I use Gmail for email, and Firefox for a web browser.

MSN and others

MSN. Can you not have just Caps in a post?

Time Warner Cable/Roadrunner

BT Yahoo Broadband

You're a Canadian stuck in the middle of nowhere, eh? ;)

Yeah, Rogers does suck...

But at least my modem isn't being evil any more.

I do my surfing from my phone, so T-Mobile is my provider. :)
