Prodigy

Pros: Reasonable Priced
Cons: Poor Customer Service; User Agreement enforced too strictly

I was a member of Prodigy when they were an online service before AOL came into existence. Notice I said "was".

Purchasing a yearly membership was a natural for me. Unlimited access...no need to count hours and pay exuberant fees...

Pros: There are other alternatives.
Cons: Bad connections, slow, poor tech support

Having been switched when Prodigy bought out Cable & Wireless (who had previously bought out InternetMCI), I stayed with the conversion for the e-mail forwarding from CWIX to Prodigy, and the Prodigy dual-email (POP and Web Mail). But what a...

Pros: no
Cons: waste your money and bad customer service

Prodigy Internet

At first, I bought my computer at Best Buy and I also applied for prodigy internet. After that I decided to cancel the internet service, so I went to Best Buy and cancel it. I forgot to tell you that Prodigy charged me for...

Pros: Can't really think of any. Average!
Cons: Terrible customer service. Hidden issues in setup agreement!

I just want to take the time to voice my opinion on Prodigy. I tried out Prodigy through the link on my new computer. It said you get two months free Internet access. Well, I wanted to see what it was all about, so I signed on.

At first...

Pros: Good service
Cons: Expensive

I have had prodigy internet for almost a year. Just like many others, I was sucked in by the free month and then the 2 $9.95 months. I was surprised when I then found a 19.95$ bill on my credit card. The service is very good and I rarely have a...

Pros: When working - works good
Cons: Too much down time

I have been using Prodigy for years now. Sometimes I ask myself WHY! I guess it is because it was the first provider I found. Once you start using a provider you hate to change. Knowing what I know now I would have found another service. I have been...

Pros: Very good internet service, if it was 8 years ago.
Cons: Support techies will get to know you really well.

This was a great service 8 years ago. I had a Win 3.1 OS with 24M of RAM and a .5 GB hard drive. I would log on, visit bulletin boards, visit the links on the page. I remember the good old days. When version 5 came out, everything changed....

Pros: free trial
Cons: service

I absolutely love the Internet. I have made tons of connection & learned so much from just surfing the web. I want an ISP that I can connect with. I want an ISP that lets me read email. I want an ISP that has excellent customer service (I'll even...

Pros: helped pay for my laptop
Cons: so slow; it is pathetic

Okay, I am not so much an internet junkie but I am addicted to email, and I am poor. So, I was suckered in by Best Buy when I bought my new laptop to sign up for Prodigy and save on the laptop. I figured that I really only check email from home since I...

Pros: Good History of Information Service
Cons: Won't accept checking account payments

I had been hearing about Prodigy for years from my computer geek friends (way back in the 1980's) and when I finally purchased my first modem it was one of the first companies I contacted to try out their service and was majorly disappointed that they...

Pros: Easy to use, bright, adjustable
Cons: a little slow at times

I have been with Prodigy for 2 years. I pay in one lump sum, so why some one is paying $20 for what I get for $16.50, I have no idea. My home page is colorful and easy to use. I can adjust what I want to see. Stocks, News stories, ect. I am able to...

Pros: Service is excellent in some areas, price
Cons: Contracts with rebates, service poor in some areas

I have an opinion written here about when I used to work for Prodigy Customer care entitiled, "I Work Prodigy Customer Care." Well, now that I don't anymore, here is my opinion on the service.

Alright, in some places it works and in...

Pros: works with Eudora Light for outside email
Cons: poor communities, horrible time trying to connect.

Barnum was right. There is one born every minute. We needed a new computer and decided that we like the HP 4535 Pavillion. And hey, $400 off with the Prodigy Instant Rebate! What a deal, right?!! Wrong.

Set up was easy. You are walked...

Pros: Easy to use, great e-mail service, easy to sign on and access
Cons: Graphics are quite as attractive as AOL's

I signed up for Prodigy as my ISP about a year or so ago. I have been nothing but satisfied with the service since.

I have AOL for my daughter on her PC and now she wants me to change her over to Prodigy. While AOL is attractive, it is not...

Pros: The way it used to be
Cons: Customer Service

I had been a loyal prodigy user for 6 years until the recent merger withe SBC Yahoo. What a mistake!!

The only positive would be that connections have not really been a problem. During upgrade periods, but not on a daily basis.
