For $10 a month, I go with a Saginaw-based company called DiamondCS. The price
is right and they've been nothing but reliable. 3 Email addresses come with
the account as well as 3MB web space. (I personally don't use either of the
latter since my email is a through a dedicated email provider and my webspace
was gotten through a friend-of-a-friend type deal.) And if it makes any
difference, their news server rocks. :) Even in comparison to Easynews et al.

Be wary of any company that outsources their dialup customers to other
companies. I got burned with this when going through Speakeasy dialup. Turns
out the company they go through ("popsite" is the name, I think) is banned by
half the internet!
