Are There Any Global ISPs? 12
smart_ass asks: "I doubt I am the only one of us out there who has to spend some of our "work" time on the road. My question for you all is what internet connection providers do you use for international connections. There's gotta be something better than AOL and Compuserve with near-complete world coverage." Man, I sure hope so!

Earthlink surprisingly good (Score:2, Informative)
With Mindspring's acquisition (merger, whatever) by Earthlink, I find that I now have access to a pretty good set of POPs in other parts of the world, too. I used the POPs in Ireland and Australia quite a bit and had no trouble. The price was pretty reasonable, too -- about 10 cents a minute.
My current company has been using iPass for years, but its much more expensive (25 to 60 cents per minute, depending on location) the last time I checked.
AT&T is supposed to have a pretty good set of global POPs, too, but I don't have any direct experience with them.

Of course, then the president of the co. stopped by and bitched at me because he could only get a 9.6 connection in rural Paraguay. Not the capital mind you; the middle of nowhere. I just looked at him...
