Some Internet Service Providers are well-know international brand names. Virgin! BT!

Don't let their performance in other areas distort your thinking!

Some highly advertised brands such as AOL are not true ISP's, in that they use their own special software and E-Mail systems, with all sorts of restrictions.

If you choose AOL you may find that certain software programs will not work (AddressWise does not!) and you will have to change your ISP. (Another good reason for a 30-day Trial).
