[ILUG] Esat -VS- OceanFree -VS- ???

[Jeremiah Russelll]

I have signed up to the service since October but have been unable to get
satisfactory connection times.  (1connection in 10 attempts is not
satisfactory).

I stopped attempting at the begining of December and have not tried it
recently.   Basically I am waiting to hear that it works first.
