Not only do they have crappy service, but they also like to scam their
customers. Check BBB. I'm even recalling that they ran a "promotion" where
if you bought something they secretly signed you up for long distance phone
service or some such and just started billing you. I didn't get bit by that
one, fortunatelyl. They also love their spam. Foul, despicable company that
regularly takes advantage of their customers.
