Kids Looking for ISP

Hi,
I'm still looking for another ISP.
I'm restricted to dial up and need a nation wide service.
Does anybody have experienced
"Highstream ISP"?
It's $ 8.95 for dial up and $ 11.95 for 5 x faster service (not DSL).
There website sounds pretty good.

www.findanisp.com has ratings on lots of ISPs. Partly because of that I'm now using Toast.net. there is another $9. IPS out of texas that's supposed to be good but I forget the name.
.bh.

the 5x faster service is most likely a program to increase the speed that pages load (though i dont how well it does this). this will not increase things like file dl speed

the 5x means the cache the pages that are used a lot on there servers. It can cause probs with forums because they don't update always.

You might check Juno, I've been usuing it for 3 years now and love there $9.99 a month service!

Thanks for your advice.
"findanisp" is a great site. I didn't know that it existed.
I was aware of the caching feature in "5 x times faster" but didn't know that it could cause problems with forums.
Currently I have Walmart-Connect. It cheap, $9.94 @ month unlimited", and the techs are very helpful.
Problem: Email has quite a few limitations and it's AOL based.
I like to use Mozilla and with W-M Connect I would end up with 3 browsers.
