YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG
ISP WHEN...
* Their company logo is two tin cans and a
length of string.
* You check out their address, and it's a
phone booth containing a Compaq portable and an acoustic coupler.
* Their chief technical officer lives in a
10-foot-by-7-foot shack in the woods.
* Their proud boast: "We've been on
the Internet since it was CB radio."
* Their promo materials use the words
"information" and "superhighway" in the same sentence.
* You order an SLIP/PPP connection, email,
and 2MB of server space for your personal Web site, and the voice on the other end of the
phone asks, "Would you like fries with that?"
* "As seen in Better Business Bureau
special reports."
* "Access speeds up to 9,600 BPS in
most areas."
* They hawk both domain names and Rolexes
on the street corner.
* They charge for e-mail and downloads by
the word.
