ugh! bad internet service, bad.. it keeps going out. argh. i really really want to switch.. i want to not have charter anymore - they seem to be sucking pretty hardcore. I really wouldn't mind having bellsouth, or at this point, earthlink. i doubt anyone but bellsouth has service out here, anyway, but I think I'm going to look into it, and possibly talk to josh about switching. we could cut the cable down, and save money that way, too - i would hate to do it, but i feel like as long as we have buffy, and angel, we're okay, and if it comes down to it, even if we don't have those, we'll be fine.

trying to do my homework - i'm hungry, though. i think i'm going to grill some vegetables and cook some rice.. at least i can still listen to thistle and shamrock, or almost - it seems to be having some issues, as well!

We've been using Bellsouth. Unfortunately for us, the closest service is Athens [which is long distance, for us] so we have to have Area Plus on both phone lines so we're not charged long distance charges. Our standard phone bill alone is eating us alive.

However, Bellsouth is pretty dependable. $15 a month.

mm.. but you guys are doing dialup? we've got cable, and I would like dsl.. or I just need to fix my computer so it can do dial up as well, so that when the cable goes down, i can still get online.

junkie? yep. :)

bellsouth is available, but earthlink isn't - i did earthlink in north carolina, and once it got installed, it was great, but it took almost three months, i think, to get it installed. at this point, though, I would be willing to even try earthlink again. :) i looked at the bellsouth options, but their customer service isn't open today, and i might have to get the gateway, and i'm not sure if they have a deal for that. thanks!

yes. :) that's exactly it. it's mostly short periods, sometimes I think it's longer. It's just frustrating, because I'm a very instant gratification type of person,a nd a lot of the research i'm doing is also being done online (or I'll log onto the uga library page to see if they have an article or book i've run across).. and not being able to get my email, even if there's nothing, drives me buggy. :)
