Would you please tell me who these *good* ISPs are (dialups excluded)
> and which of these *good* ISPs I can get in Marietta, GA?.
I was referring to the original question about New York. I know nothing about what's available in Marietta, except to say that one of the big guys may do better for you than a local telco. Earthlink, Speakeasy and Covad, for example, all resell DSL and cable connections from the telcos. Speakeasy and Covad offer additional services not offered by the phone company. If you use a reseller, you're still generally using the telco's wires (or in some cases, the cable company's), but don't have to deal with their crappy customer service.
