Pros: Lots of free web space--up to 140MB, great rebate
Cons: Without the rebate, the service is pricey
I have used Compuserve for just over a year and have been pleased with their service. Before Compuserve I used AOL with mixed results (mostly good), but just couldn’t resist the $400 rebate they offered with the purchase of new computer. Money talks,...

Pros: Thank Goodness it was a free trial.
Cons: YOU NAME IT!!!
Well, I really REALLY wanted to like Compuserve...after all, isn't it one of the "pioneers" of online service, or something along those lines? Seems like I've heard of Compuserve forever, and a company with such longevity must be good, right?...

Pros: Fine ISP when it works
Cons: Too large an organization to deal with when problems arise.
We have always used AOL for our internet service. We never had too much trouble with it. I liked it for the ease of use since I'm not exactly a cyber queen (I'm working on it, however). We were using an old Mac that we dearly loved, but found it was...

Pros: Many of my pay bars are now working
Cons: Still get kicked off sometimes
Recently I received a call from Compuserve telling me about their affiliation with AOL. I guess they are actually one in the same. Anyway they offered me a months free trial of AOL. They told me to try out both services and see which one I...

Pros: good connection speed, allows you to stay on w/o getting constantly kicked off
Cons: you must use the cs browser to connect,
currently no high speed service
Let me start by explaining why I joined cs in the first place. My first ISP was Aol, which was horrendous back in its earlier days(although I don't know if it is still that bad; in any case, I don't care). And my family and I were shopping for a ...

Pros: Forums, and Library's
Cons: Web Based, Billing Scams.
The Good
I first started using Compuserve. When 2.0 Was new to the world. At the time I had only been using BBS's so Wincim was fantastic to me. Seemingly just like a giant BBS. Now I use Compuserve 4.0 Classic and about the only thing that...

Pros: No problems connecting, up to the minute news, instant messaging, e-mail, and something for everyone.
Cons: Customer service could be better.
Compuserve is my current ISP and I have been very pleased with it. When I got my new computer, they offered a $400 rebate for anyone who signed up with Compuserve for two years. That is the main reason I got started with Compuserve. It has not let me...

Pros: 56k connection speeds
Cons: Restricting, cluttered, Automatic Internet Disconnection after short delay with noway to turn this feature off.
(The 6/11/00 update is at the bottom of the review.)
Never have I felt so bad in a purchasing decision. I feel like a sucker! I did one of those $400 Internet Rebate deals from CompuServe. This was before I was...

Pros: Easier to use than Standard Dial up.
Cons: Disconnects, Limits some computer functions, Practically have to fight a war to disconnect.
I got stuck with CompuServe through the familiar $300 rebate. I imagine this is the only way a company like CompuServe can actually get customers. Why do I talk so bad about CompuServe? For anyone who's been stuck with AOL, CompuServe is basically the ...

Pros: what pros
Cons: rude, slow and outdated
Here is one company that not only do I just not like but, the tech support was just plain rude.
The user interface is very confining. Personally I like to just go directly to the web with out a lot of other windows and screens...

Pros: Content
Cons: wishy-washy customer service, rather pricey
Maybe I'm naive because Compuserve is the only ISP I've ever had, but I really like it.
I'm one of those people who subscribed to Compuserve because of the $400 rebate I received from the purchase of my computer. Three years at...

Pros: few forum people left are wonderful, free interenet access to forums.
Cons: With your credit card number, they'll charge and steal from you. PLEASE BE WARNED
CS INTERFACE
The interface of Compuserve is like a LITE version of AOL and the wait time to connect is very long. It is set up to work well with Internet Explorer best, but you can use any browser you like, if you adjust the options,...

Pros: $400.00 instant rebate
Cons: Locked into junky browser, mail, newsgroups. No flexibility
So far I hate it! I shouldn't complain, they gave me an instant $400.00 rebate. You know, I knew when I was signing my name on the dotted line that I should just stick with the slo-mo machine I have been struggling along with. My main intent for...

Pros: Huge network - customer base -Lot's of monthly plan options
Cons: It's AOL problems with a different name
First of all I joined CompuServe in 1987., back when a 300 baud modem was basic and fast. You also paid through the nose for each and every minute of use.. But back then it was worth it. The Data bases and able to search articles was bar none the best.....

Pros: At least you can eventually get on the internet
Cons: Browser, Freezing, PAIN in the neck
My parents recently bought me a computer and said they would pay for the service. When they bought it, they got one of those deals where they sign up for a server for 3 years to get a good price on a computer. Well, I guess I shouldn't complain, but...
