You could not pay me to use AOL. I do not know why people would pay their insane prices for such poor service. I think it is just insane to pay anyone over $20 for dail-up, especially when there are many out there that offer it for a lot cheaper. You just have to do a little searching because you don't pay all the extra money for advertising.
I currently use www.neandertech.com and am very happy with it paying just $6.75 a month. You can get it cheaper if you pay for 6 or 12 months. The service is a lot better than AOL. Plus you do not have to download any software, just use what comes with your computer to dail up their network.
I will check out your suggestion. Thanks.
Hey, just a quick note about ISP's. This doesn't apply to all of you who are fortunate enough to enjoy the multidudinous blessings of high-speed internet access, but for those denizens like myself who are limited to a dial-up connection there is good news.
If you are paying more than $9.99 a month you are being swindled, straight up! I happen to use Juno which is in fact about $10 a month and I find that my connection is fast, etc. but here is a new ISP that has dirt cheap prices:
www.550access.com
You pay $7.00 to set it up and then $4.75 a month thereafter. You do have to purchase 6months or more of access from the start, but that's an unbeatable price.
Check it out, it might save you a lot. And if you are using AOL, I suggest you get out fast...AOL is notorious for it's slow connections and diverse compatibility issues.
