Daryl;
By the sounds of it you have not had a Reliable ISP.
I really think that many US ISP's are over taxed for the amount of Bandwidth
they are distributing amongst their customers.
I have used Bell Sympatico for 3 years, and have only had an email
problem 2 times. Many ISP's use a Master Server, and funnel their business
to them. When at all possible, if you cut the "middle man" many of your
problems will be eliminated.
Many know what I'm talking about, but to some that don't, look at the
Internet as a Supply Line. (Or Sewer Line).
You run a 8"line to a Master ISP. The other ISP run 2"lines to their
Business. They then re-distribute this Bandwidth to their customers.
By me going direct, I manage to cut allot of the crap.

> I now use a web based e-mail account. It has been, so far more reliable
than my ISP's e-mail. The ISP e-mail was getting so unreliable that if I
received my mail, it would be about 20% of what it should have been. They
would be down every few days and I could always count on it being down on
weekends. Sometimes I would go for days without mail. Many times when I
would send, I was not sure if it even went out. I would prefer a dependable
ISP for my e-mail but with all of the problems I've had, I would like to see
how dependable my new ISP is before I switch over. Another reason I was
forced to use a web based mail is all of the spam. I used to get (when I
didn't have ISP problems)300 to 500 e-mails a day. Now I get around 150.
Perhaps some of the web based e-mail suck but so far this was is acceptable
and beside not having to go through all of the Hell that the ISP put me
through.
