When I bought the new computer, I received 6 months free (yeah, right!) access to DellNet, which is powered by MSN. I have about 3 months left, and when my time is up I'll probably be going elsewhere. Here's the pros and cons from my point of view:
(This is a dial up account)
Pros:
1. It's very rare when I can't connect.
2. Customer service is outstanding.
Cons:
1. E-mail functionality is spotty.
2. With a web-based account (like I have), you are limited to
attachment sizes of 1.5 megs or less.
3. I routinely have problems sending files close to
(but under) 1.5 megs.
4. You can not change to a Pop3 account
without losing the time remaining on your account.
5. Their e-mail is set so that you cannot use software other
than Microsoft's.
Neutral:
1. I usually connect between 42 kbps and 46 kbps.
Additional note:
When I first set up my account, they did not explain that I could only send larger files if I chose a Pop3 account, which couldn't be read from the www. They only gave me the option to read my mail from the web (which I rarely do). I would not recommend MSN. Still waiting for availability of something besides dial up in my area.
1. Who is your ISP?
2. What kind of account is it (dial up or whatever)?
3. What are the pros and cons?
