I think people might value a report from you about your experiences with bigvalley.net after you have been with them for 20-30 days. It takes some time to see ISP's on their good and bad days, just like people ;-). Thanks for writing. Looking at their site, I found some facts potentially interesting to others. [extract from their Terms Of Service, http://bigvalley.net/tos.htm fyi]: BIGVALLEY.NET does not pro-rate accounts for cancellation purposes. Any money, including any setup fees or access fees, paid by customer to BIGVALLEY.NET in setup of service(s) or in advance for service(s) shall be forfeited to BIGVALLEY.NET as a cancellation fee and is not refundable.
