Old school ISPs

[Nemesis]

Anyone remember using Prodigy and/or Compuserve?


I wonder what happened to them...

[VTECin5th]

They're still in service, But GAY

[chrisdavis]

I had Compuserv, they sucked ass. It took me 45 minutes to cancel my account after I got Comcast.

Me- I want to cancel my account
Them- We will leave it on for one month free so you can reconsider
Me- I dont want a free month
Them-But you'll lose your email account

Repeat these sentences for 45 minutes :2up:

this was back before you can order the CD version online from the netzero website... back when it was strictly word of mouth type shit

[Stormhammer]

ISPs are no different than clutches etc

in the end, there's really only 2 or 3 companies that market them all

[HalfBaked]

I wish I could still check my compuserve email.

[God]

i used to run a few bbs's way back in the day

[quickdodge®]

but netzero was the free internet king for awhile.

Nah. Juno. Later, QD.

[Brett]

I used to have AOL then went to Compuserve way back in the day when we used Dial up

[Allshow97]

Anyone remember using Prodigy and/or Compuserve?


I wonder what happened to them...

Compuserve was bought out by AOL however many people still carry the @cs.com extension on their email. As far as prodigy goes... Who knows haven't heard anything from them in a long time. I think I still have one of the yellow CDs with the star on it :D My old school ISP was Mindspring back in the day! They had some of the fastest dial up connections back in the Q1:TF days. Too bad they got bought out by a shitty ISP like Earthlink.

[Mr_Mischif]

Man, I used to have The Simpsons free internet!! It was slow as fuck by the old days' standards, but it was The Simpsons and I was like "OMG JDM TyTe WOWZERS!!!!!" Whatchuknowabouthat?

[4dmin]

lol COMPUSERVE... they were bought out by AOL shit is old as dirt... Prodigy, Mindspring, etc...
