54<p>After 22 years of being happy using pair.com as my ISP, I recently
55realized I'd been charged $420 over the last year by pair.com.  I thought I was
56still being charged around $99 a year.  When I called to complain, I
57got a person who basically said that pair.com did some analysis, found
58they could charge more so they did.  That's not the way pair.com used
59to do business. Their prices used to be very reasonable.  So I'll be
60moving all my sites somewhere else over the next few weeks.  Thanks
61very much to my friends on Facebook who've made excellent suggestions
62about less expensive ISPs.</p>
