In that area code for CO, I count maybe 500 ISPs. Colorado ISPs for Area Code 970

That's fucked up... and I would think illegal, but maybe I'm wrong.

If she has properly terminated her contract with them, and they are still taking her money, causing her to get bank fees, etc., she can sue them. They would stop that shit in a second once taken to court. Unfortunately for her, there are financial barriers to filing a lawsuit. Lawyers ain't cheap, and probably aren't worth it here.

That is why you never do direct taps to a bank account to pay for anything. Credit cards, at least, give you easier options to dispute payments.

I LOATHE AOL!

It's their marketing that makes me most ill. They've always presented themselves as unique, as if ONLY they can provide you with internet access. And the linkages to other Time Warner crap are so permissive and obvious.

A pox upon AOL!

They have nice chatrooms.

I thought you <strike>stole from</strike> used AOL exclusively because of the free hours discs.

(and for the two people who recognized what I just did, yes, I am well aware that HTML is turned off)
