Leaving a good ISP

In this world of high speed communication, instant messaging and other technological advances and competition, it isn't often that one feels the need, desire or finds something that deserves praise. Most things Internet and business wise are "just another business" that is competing for your business.

I believe it was some three or four years ago that I found myself in a position of needing an Internet Service Provider. My children were both in school and it seemed that every day a teacher was telling them to "look it up on the Internet". The wife and I decided that we were going to have to get Internet access.

Being new to this "Internet thing", we started checking for price and services offered. Not knowing what to look for or what questions to ask, we called "Internet Texoma" just because it happened to "catch our eye". They were helpful, not pushy, and told us what they had to offer. We signed up.

Since that time, we have had excellent service from Internet Texoma. I could "bubble on" about the service, but suffice it to say that they have been there with tech support and other help whenever needed. My son had a cable modem installed in the house and I connected to it via the LAN for faster browsing.... I couldn't get the e-mail to work through the cable modem to Internet Texoma and called their tech support. That could have been considered as a "slap in the face", but Internet Texoma explained how to get my E-mail to work through the cable modem to and from them.

Now the time has come to leave Internet Texoma. Maybe this isn't a place to submit an article such as this and Internet Texoma may never see this. That's ok. I still want to say, "It's been good." and "I hate to leave you." My only reason for leaving Internet Texoma is that I can get a really good deal on DSL from my wife's work. I just can't pass it up.

Thanks, Internet Texoma, for the years of service.
