As I've been preaching for
a long time forget the Flash and go for the cash. According to an

AOL finished near the
bottom of a Consumer Reports survey of ISPs and now they're raising
their rates for those subscribers who are using their BYOA services.
Rates are going from $9.95 per month to $14.95 per month. They also
became the most expensive ISP last summer when they raised their
subscription rate to $23.90. I use them quite frequently for my
Internet connection when on the road, but service and connections
leave a lot to be desired.

There is fierce
competition among the airlines for providing high speed Internet
access at about $20.00 per hour. I have a tough time seeing this
because no one I know even uses the telephone on airplanes. I just
saw the latest rates. $2.99 connection charge and $7.99 per minute .
. . OUCH. How are they going to have $20.00 per hour high speed
Internet when they can't even have reasonably prices telephone
service?
