Can you warn me what might happen?

This is going to come as a *HUGE* shock to all of you.......
I am computer illiterate.
But I have just *had* it with my server. Yesterday was the final straw - my favorite Boxer message board was down for hours and hours (thank you for rebuilding so quickly, Doug and Jacke) and when it finally came back....I read a few posts, took Mack for a walk and then came back in to indulge my addiction some more. The #$&^#@ server was down and stayed down about 24 hours. This happens almost every week-end - if it's not the internet, it's my email.
I am ready to go to war tomorrow morning......but if I make a change I don't know what to expect. I don't want to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. It's like this service is my old car....at least I *know* what problems I have, if I get something else......maybe I'll have a bunch of different problems.
This is how naive I am...........I thought it would just mean a change of email addy - but then I read about Diane's problems and some of the comments from others who have been through it.
When we got the computer and signed up for the internet (I guess you call it "dial-up" service?) we paid an extra $25 and the "webmaster" came to the house and got us started.

The one we do business now is local - I am thinking of going with GTE because they *are* big.......it doesn't seem like their equipment would be going down so often (?).

Have any advice for me?
