Re: Tired of Dial-Up

I have dial up at home and don't mind it one bit.
I have incredibly fast internet and work and at school
and at every coffee shop in the area. I figure maybe I should spend
my time at home doing something else besides being online!
Books, crossword puzzles, and such seem to be better ways to spend my
downtime when I am at home.
That said, I very happy with the ISP I use and if I were to upgrade to
DSL I would intentionally go with them even though it would cost more.
The ISP I use is www.copper.net and I like how they advertise that they
do not offshore work! That is something I like to sup****t! Their dial-up
is at rock-bottom prices. Their DSL would be more than if I got it from
Verizon directly(copper.net would have to use Verizon's lines!) but I
would be more than happy to give my money to copper vs s***bag Verizon.
The only thing I wonder is if copper would have to pay Verizon off to 
use their lines? I didn't think so because Verizon's POTS lines are a
legal monopoly and it would be ridiculous if they were able to abuse 
their monopoly power in this way. Why, it seems almost unamerican. ;)
