- "These days, it doesn't really matter what you're doing; even standing at the bus stop, minding your own business, you'll be bombarded by ads for ISPs (Internet service providers). They're on buses, on billboards, on T-shirts, on TV, in the paper. America Online even has bumper stickers ("I'd rather be online"). It's enough to drive anyone crazy. So how do you find the right ISP for you?"
