I can't remember the name either. I used them because my computer tech at that time worked for the company and sold me access personally. Turns out it was an admin account and he got in alot of crap when when I used their shell account to download tons of warez (I was 14). This was on a computer my older brother bought a nice IBM Aptiva 486 dx4 100 with a nice 14.4 modem and 4 MB ram.
I remember one night staying up late downloading a demo of mortal kombat it was about 2am and I had school in the morning, I would go back and forth from the tv to the computer to check the progress turnign the monitor on and off each time, the last time I accidently pushed the power button in but stopped myself while holding it in realizing what I had done. I sat there for a good 20min holding that button until I gave up and let go.
Nothing worse than someone picking up the phone either when I first got cable modem it was a happy day. The infamous loading porn pictures on dialup, IRC , and Warcraft.

Can't remember the name of the ISP but their domain was canuck.com
The only reason I went with them was to have the cool @canuck.com email address but none of my friends or family had an email address and there wasn't much spam back then so I didn't use the email much.
I remember it took something like 12 hours to download the new netscape, it was 14MB or something like that. Nowadays that would take about 10 seconds.
