How are you posting to IBM-MAIN? Via e-mail or via the IBM-MAIN webpage?

I am using the IBM-MAIN webpage using my work network resources.

Sometimes a small rural ISP is cheaper and you get excellent services, but this 
is not working here in Sunny, Hot and Dry South Africa. There is only one 
landline company and they regulate all these ISP companies via bandwidth 
monopoly. Grrrrrrr.

If I post something after hours, I connect directly to my cell-phone company 
using the monthly data bundles and quad card with a SIM card inserted. So the 
cell-phone company is basically yet another ISP in a way. No propriety spam 
pages etc. from that cell-phone company advertising itself and their peers.

I'm not using an ISP who then requires you to buy a link / connection on an 
ADSL landline. That setup results in double costs, where I then have to pay the 
ISP as well as the landline phone company.
