Re: Good Deal!

hehe, I beat it. I beat it outta my house and back in that hole where it came from.

bloatware. Why couldnt they just do DHCP like anyone else with half a brain. Instead there doing PPPOE! it requires extra software installed on your computer. Well I hear XP can handle it on its own.

anyway, SBC/Yahoo was slow, required too much garbage software to be installed to use, confusing (is it SBC or yahoo?), and spamware in that they tell you they will immediately sell your information to the devil himself.

SBC even has this hidden in their phone packages. So you gotta opt out of yahoo's garbage, and SBC's garbage on different levels...

Neva!

Most ISPs are doing PPPoE on the modem now.

Most of that software isn't required and the reason they put all that software on the computer is because the average consumer actually wants it.

So confusing, my head hurts, I want my mommy.

What two levels are you talking about. During the installation you are given the option to have advertisements e-mailed to you and it is clear as day, not hidden anywhere or in fine print. And remember, SPAM is unsolicited e-mail. When you opt to have it sent to you that immediately makes it solicited, thus not SPAM. In conclusion you're 13. Here's your lollipop.
