A: I'm having a really bad day.
B: Why, what's the matter?
A: It's my ISP! Every time I tried to connect I just got an engaged tone…
B: Well, there are plenty of other ISPs to choose from!
Yes, there are plenty of ISPs to choose from. How do you find them? One way is to buy a computer magazine and look at the advertisements. You just telephone an ISP and they usually send you a CD-ROM to get connected. Sometimes they even give them away with the magazines. You put the CD-ROM in your computer and follow the instructions. It's free. But sometimes you have to pay for using an ISP. There are big differences between them. Some ISPs give you just a few hours connection time; others give you unlimited access. Some even give you free telephone calls, too. It pays to shop around.
Vox Pop 1. I like my ISP, because it has a special children's page.
Vox Pop 2. I've got my own website - my ISP has tools that allow me to create my own pages.
Vox Pop 3. My ISP costs me about £15 a month, but it's a reliable service, and I always connect first time.
