    Well, today I noticed that my ISP (RCN) made a change, which, I am irate about!

    I was looking at a clients url and I mistakenly typed it in, and I see it takes me to a page like this:
    http://www17.searchresults.rcn.com/search?qo=gsdgsdghshs.com&rn=K7Be0nX7p32iKSQ
    (I put in a fake domain just to show the effect)

    And they use Yahoo search results...

    The internet speed is really fast, but this stupid page, makes me angryyyyyy!

    Poopy on them ! :( :(

    They're probably getting paid for it :p

    Annoying but hey, is it annoying enough to switch ISP entirely?

    Yeah, but I dislike yahoo....:\ (I LOVE google)

    As far as switching because of it, well they have fast speeds, but I couldn't switch if I wanted because I don't pay for the internet, my parents do.

    I am still in high school, and when I get my own place, I know I won't continue with this ISP!

    Nope, RCN.
    It isn't an all-around ISP, its only for certain areas...

    Let's say, they arn't an ISP that are often heard of!
