Re: Whoop-de-do
said by Bobcat  :My Verizon DSL has 2 GB with the main account, plus 256 MB for each sub-account, all for $165/year LESS than OOL. What UL/DL Speeds is that DSL account delivering? Your claim that you are paying $165 less per year must be viewed in the light of if while you are getting more Email Storage you also get less speed on your connection.
OOL gives 500Meg in each of the 7 available Accounts with 15/2 speeds. Thus while the main account only gets 25% of your max space, each of the sub-accounts gets twice the space. They also offer 30/2 speeds for an extra $15/month which comes with 1Gig Email per account and 14 instead of 6 sub-accounts. |

| I don't care. I don't want more speed, I want to spend less money.
Hell, I'd probably still be an OOL customer if they offered 2M/384k for $30/mo. But they jacked-up their price from $30 to $45, so I switched to DSL, which was the best broadband decision I've ever made. |

I can understand that and can agree that for your needs it was the right decision. My comments were directed more at your "Its Cheaper" statement when you were not comparing equivelent product and thus your claim was a non sequitur. |

| I mentioned the difference in price to point out that OOL is getting more revenue per customer, 38% more than what I pay, but they don't provide as much email storage.
And OOL has only one-third the number of customers as Verizon DSL, so it's not like it would require an unheard of amount of storage. |
