I would tend to agree with you on this. The standards provided by a lot of
free Internet services have deteriorated considerably, in the last few
months. So it's easy to imagine all sorts of nuisances oozing out of
Winfire.

I can't afford a real provider, and I have a job.

Well, they don't believe in you, either! Besides, a myth is as good as a
mile.


Anyway, thanks guys for your input. Being extremely jaded over the
horrible level of services provided on the 'net--both free and retail--I
think I will just sit and wait a while longer, for when DSL goes
mainstream with real price wars.
