Thanks Tom

My ISP boasts something like 1,500 POP presences accross the country.
So almost anywhere I travel, I can access my account just like I was
at home.

My ISP knows I have moved permanently to a different state and has had
to make changes to allow my access to things like newsfeeds etc.
Because he is relatively a small provider as compared to most others,
I have never found one better or as concerned about his users.

My take on the situation is, he probably has many more outside clients
of this ring he belongs to using his services as they travel, than
what our few members use outside of his service.
So, if there is a fee, he is probably on the receiving end if money is
involved.

Being totally illiterate about how the internet actually works, but
being conscious of the local end of the wire. I set my computers to
disconnect if idle for 5 minutes. But at the same time, I do spend at
least 4 hours per day on line.

As long as it's Kosher, I would like to remain with my current ISP!
But at the same time, I don't want to make whatever ISPs phone numbers
I am using to get disgruntled about it. I may be breaking a clause in
a contract between ISPs and not even knowing about it.
I have absolutely NO idea what ISPs I work through, as my own ISP
provides only the dialup telephone numbers we use nationwide.
Although, because I'm here permanently, he did give me a different
phone number to use that does not appear on the travelers list of
numbers.

Thanks for your input Tom!
