> Hi,

> I need some recommendations for an isp. 

> I have used ihug for 18 months. They provide a good connection. I have a
> 56K dialup. with 250hrs per month. Normally I use 150-200 hrs a month.
> Last month owing to the Iraq war my downloads really slowed down and I
> managed over 300hrs and was given an additional charge of $146. All fair

> 1) They provide no automated warning of going over ones limit.

> 2) Any new customer signing up today for ANY dialup account cannot pay
> more than a $30 surcharge. This means that loyal customers are screwed
> EVEN though the company obviously recognises the problem. Funnily
> eneough their mailing lists which I allow to advise me of changes to
> their policies either did not sell these changes to accounts do so or
> did so very quietly....they sell me lots of things I don't need !

> Anyway I can not allow people to profit when they do this sort of thing
> so I must change isp.

> Any opinions either pro or con welcome.

> Thanks
