If anyone is thinking of getting AOL....DO NOT!!! I had them for 4 years now and it has been nothing but hell. AOL will not stay connected, and then you're forced to restart your computer, just to get you back online, only to work for a few minutes before it freezes up again. And then when you've got fed up with trying to fix the problem yourself, don't bother calling AOL up, because you'll be greeted with someone who can hardly speak english, and then go through a list of things you've already done, then at the end they tell you it's not AOL it's that you have a bad modem, when you know you don't. So then you decide to delete the AOL software...somehow it reinstalls itself..hmmmmm Then you decide to let your credit card expire to stop payment to AOL, but they find another way to charge you...WHAT THE HELL!?! The only thing I can tell you is, if you get stuck with AOL don't use their software; use Firefox, it'll make your experience a little less annoying. Try Earth Link if you don't know what other service to use. It's cheaper and far better.

Aol giving you free email, beware when they come bearing gift. Aol and I parted company as their customer support is very scripted, very pretentious/or nonsupport support,like to collect/sell your personal info, gave me hell in my attempts to cancel account(work you over like a felon to keep you), alway keep you on hold a long time, no accountability. Thats how they value you as customer!!!

I have heard about a lot of problems with AOL customer support, especially if you are thinking about cancelling. AOL customer support is often following a script. An extreme example can be found on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaaAYVUWP0I, but I know of a number of AOL users and I do not like a number of things about their service including software.

Yeah,I know there area lot of 'good' ISPs. I want
one that is LESS than $9.95 a month and dependable
too.I found it with ISP.com $8.95 monthly, they
bill my crerdit card monthly, and I've NEVER had
any problem with them, NEVER.

AOL's new "mail only for free" service is pretty darn good. I've used them for some years even with my DSL line. I pay only $9.95/month for the complete service and over the time I've used AOL9SE, I have trained their built in spam filter to recognize a lot of spam that used to inhabit my mail. It's very rare now that any spam sneaks into my in box. Now, with the new free stuff, I can save that monthly $9.95 bill by simply using a different browser. Ain't progress grand?
