I just wanted to say that Juno stinks! I only have to use it for another 3 months because I'm getting married and moving but I just wanted to say that they have way too many random disconnections. Sometimes you don't even know you've been disconnected.(I have dial-up). I sat and wrote a whole post and went to submit it and I was disconnected and I couldn't get back to the page with my (long) writings on it. Very frustrating!!!!Bah!

Really? I have Juno and have never had any problem with it. But I have Juno SpeedBand (which really isn't worth the extra $5/mo), I don't know if that makes any difference. You don't happen to have their free plan do you? Because I hear that's where people are usually prone to frequent disconnections and other problems. But I'm not sure they even have that free plan anymore. The only thing I really don't like is that you automatically get disconnected if you're idle for more than an hour or so...which makes downloading any big files a bit of a pain in the butt, as every once in awhile I have to do something like refresh a page so it thinks I'm not idle.

But coincidentally...I will also only be using it another 3 (well, probably 2.5) months as I am also getting married and moving.

I can relate, kc! We were with AOL for 4 yrs. or so, paying $24./month and change (for dialup) and many times I suddenly got the msg., "your connection to AOL has been lost" and I lost a long post, etc. that I had spent a half hour, an hour, or even longer working on. It got to the point, just before we quit AOL, where I would highlight what I had written to that point, and click on "copy" every so often while composing a post, long e-mail etc., so I could paste it back in later if/when my connection got dropped (Is that any way to run an ISP, I ask you?). You may want to do that too, until you leave Juno?

So although AOL is easy to use and has lots of bells & whistles, we recently switched to dslextreme, and for only a few dollars a month more, have dsl speed, fantastic pop-up & spam blocking (we haven't received even one single piece of spam since changing to them), and never get dropped while online. I think their dial-up connection service is only about $10. a month or so, so you might want to check that out.

I us Netzero. It is all the same but I find it a little better: It asks if you want to disconnet first. The idle time is 15 minutes, though. And if you don't click in 5 minutes, it's off line. It's the same company as Juno but different name, better connections and I found it to be better overall.

As much as I don't care for dialup for Juno, AOL, MSN, NetZero, Earthlink, etc, your disconnect problems are about 9.9 out of 10 times always a problem with your modem, phone lines or the phone number you're connected to. In that sense, dialup providers gets blamed for a lot that really isn't their fault to begin with.

Here in Dallas, you can get Yahoo! SBC DSL for $26.95 a month.

That's a good point. Now that I think about it...I do sometimes randomly get kicked offline...but after the first few times it happened I realized that I'm pretty sure it's because call my apartment. So I don't even attribute that to Juno anymore, that's why I didn't even think about it possibly being the problem the OP is having. I'm pretty sure there's a way to disable call waiting when you sign on...but I'm not sure what it is.

Click to expand...

To disable call waiting, add this to the beginning of your dialup phone number:
*70,

Granted, that's the manual way. I'm sure that there's somewhere in the ISP's software where you can click to set it to disable call waiting.

God bless!
