I was with EarthLink before I was with Comcast, and if it wasn't for the 
speed advantage I get with comcast cable here and I can't get DSL here, but 
basically, if I could get the speed out of earthlink I can out of comcast's 
cable out here, I'd go back to earthlink in a heartbeat. I had them for 
dialup and never had a problem with jaws, I had a problem with connecting 
when I signed up at first and some one was on the phone with me for about 5 
hours telling me what changes to make until we finally got it, come to find 
out he stayed 45 minutes over the end of his shift.  Can't beat that and 
I'll never forget it.
