[muglo] Re: Sympatico

I phoned Sympatico last week, and there was a recorded message that 
the technicians were heading into a strike around July 15, or words 
to that effect--I only listened to the message once, but that seemed 
to be the gist of it.  The message claimed that there would be no 
service disruption, but from what you're saying, that may not be true?

I opened a second email account with ISP Canada, which has their 
office on Oxford, near Wharncliffe, I think Tee said.  They have the 
Dog Paddle--10 hours a month--which I got.  I've still got my small 
(Casual Dial-up) account with Sympatico, but thought I'd try out ISP 
for awhile and see how I like it.  So far so good.  In fact, I've 
been using the ISP connection exclusively for the past few days, and 
checking both accounts.  From what you're saying, I'm glad I've been 
using ISP, instead of Sympatico.

Yes, I have heard others complain about Sympatico, and I have had 
troubles connecting.  Also people have sent me emails and I haven't 
received them, and vice versa.
