Like lawyers and real estate brokers.. In the good old USA, there is no one to be trusted, starting at the presidency the legislature and courts. If the president is allowed to lie so as to start a war, why nor financial-investment advisers. We are seeing the downfall of corrupted democracy and capitalism.

Our family started off with AOL, and after repeated problems with their network, we left them for cable internet, and eventually DSL. I never understood why so many people hated AOL untill I left them to use other sources. Later I realized the customer support they gave was 100% BS, and the number one popular "fix it" method they recommend is "uninstalling, and reinstalling the software", which is about the most asinine recommendation to anyone that has already tried that once. The main problem I suspected was that they use multiplexing to cram too many customers onto a network, making those that already have a 56k cap on bandwidth suffer with less than half of that through their service.
