Well, yes and no. I could use another service, but I pay enough for
my access now, that I can't really justify paying for another one.
More a matter of principle than finance, not that finance doesn't
count, but . . .
Anyway, as for the free services I've tried, they are all pretty slow
and many only have a web interface.
