I'm on my son's computer with MSN, and he says I better make my posts quickly because it often just knocks you off line inadvertantly. Similar to what I had with AOL and why I caneled that. Since the fold of the Excite@Home server for AT&T I've had my serive knocked out 3 times with hour waits on their sevice phone lines to get back on. Besides, they are overpriced at $35/mo. + $10/mo. for the cable modem. Enough. Just canceled my account moments ago.

So, I'm off line as soon as this MSN server takes it's periodic hike (my son left for school, and of course wasn't about to leave me with his password to get back on wink ) - and until I can get a new service.

I would really appreciate recommendations, particularly for west side Portland metro area use. I haven't talked to Mark yet. He has been fairly satisfied with Earthlink. What other recommendations do you have for a value priced internet service that is reasonably reliable and has ease of use (if there is such a thing)?

Thanks much people.

Edit: P.S. - I also don't have any e-mail service in the interim.
