Careful, yer starting to sound like me ;-)

Anyhow, I just spoke with a supervisor at Symcraptico and let them know that
they had made a *huge* mistake, that up until their hookup with MS I had very
little to complain about, and that I would be initiating a switch to another ISP
within 24 hours.

Now I just have to wait for the fscking IStop web page to load...

Anything anyone can tell me about what I should have ready for the switch? I
already have an Alcatel Speed Touch modem and a router that manages my internet
connection, should be pretty seamless, no?
