I use Earthlink, got them by default when they bought out Mindspring, my previous ISP. I consider that Earthlink has an unfriendly attitude and would be glad to switch somewhere else if anyone has a suggestion.

Was thinking about installing their pop up blocker, glad this article was posted.

I went from dial-up to cable - I have Time Warner's Road Runner. It's expensive - double what EarthLink costs. But ... a friend of mine has LTSP.com - he loves it.

So far, I'm happy with most of Road Runner. I've had problems with email, though minor - but only related to sending - and none related to getting email I don't want. I don't get that many pop-ups, so I don't worry about it.

www.AdSubtract.com

Stops Pop-up, Advertisments, Auto Refreshes, Background music/images, Cookies, Referrers, Java stuff, Animations.

It is fully configurable to allow what you want on whatever site you like. Easy to use, I have loved the pro version for 4 years now and I use Earthlink (was Mindspring).

Mindspring/Earthlink has some things going for it. One it will not let you trace to the home with a ping, Two: it offers a great web page package for awesome picture storage use for hosting your own pictures. I have never had them email me and tell me I have overused my bandwidth either. I pay a year in advance and get a cheaper rate than the monthlies do, it is way cheaper than AOL.
