This is Great

Misleading advertising needs to be stopped, plain and simple. I used to use Joi Internet back in my Field Technician days and needed a reliable cheap dialup to test stuff with, but those days have been numbered.

You can not claim dsl speeds over dialup, there is no possible way that this will ever happen. I remember seeing the billboard on 285 for Joi Internet, and them pushing "DSL Speeds at Dialup Price". Now tell me how misleading that is? If I wasn't smart enough I would jump on that deal in a heart beat.

I stand behind bellsouth on this issue.

You know what, I know people that actually have dumped their DSL after seeing the endless parade of Joi ads, radio spots, and billboards. (Then I get the "why doesn't it work" call cause I'm the "computer person". )

This is great, I am sick of watching commericals for "fast dial-up" it pisses me off.

Dial-up is dying, they need to realize that.
