When I started my research in 2001, I went with MSN dailup, and then in 2004 I changed to AT&T DSL, but because I had so many postings with my MSN address, I continue to use MSN email, but AT&T is my ISP, & I have a bill from both. You might check with EarthLink & see if that have some way you can keep your address, for a reduced fee. My MSN bill is about 1/2 of what it was when they were my ISP.

I used to have Earthlink dial-up. When I changed ISPs many years ago, I kept Earthlink so that I could keep my email address, among other things. I don't know if they still offer it, but it was called something like Bring Your Own Broadband and I pay $10/month, which is well worth what I get out of it.

Vanessa - Thank you so much for your suggestion. I'll definitely keep it in mind.
