It's the first i've heard of it, Ash. Around this area, for high speed, it's pretty much RoadRunner (Time Warner Cable). Earthlink has a deal with Time Warner cable to market their own cable modem connections as well. Also, Bell South has DSL.
The only inexpensive (was ~$10/mo) dial-up I know anyone uses is People-PC. It's OK, but recently bought out by a bigger outfit whose name I slips my mind.
RoadRunner, which I have, is $45/mo if already a cable TV customer and $10 more if not.
