Horsepuckey. I have SBC/Pacbell as well. While their service sucked when they were running around overselling beyond their capacity to service, my actual
connection has been just fine for the last 6-8 months. Now their e-mail and newsgroup services, on the other hand, are bad. It is not unusual for me to have a
hang when trying to get e-mail for no apparent reason. The problem clears up by the next time I log on, but these hangs occur whatever operating system I'm
using at the moment, not just OS/2. SBC bought them, and in their usual layoff/cut cut cut fashion has turned a reasonably ok ISP into a horror. Of course, so
has everyone else thats left:-). I guess we'll just have to set up our own servers...
