I am a satisfied AOL dialup user and have been for 4 years. AOL has the fastest connection speed of any dialup ISP that I have tried, and I tried several before AOL. With AOL I connect at 49000kbs with a V92 59K modem.
AOL really does have unlimited dialup, you can stay online 1 hour or 10 hours and you do not get bumped offline. There is not any monthly usage restriction as most dialup ISP's have these days. This is the main reason that I keep using AOL for my dialup ISP.
AOL has just recently increased there monthly fee from $9.95 to $11.95 a month, but I still consider that a fair price for true unlimited usage.
The technical support is great whether you are calling the 800 number or using the online chat or emailing for technical support. I have only had to ask for technical support a couple of times in the 4 years that I have had AOL dialup and both times my issues were resolved immediately and I received follow up emails asking if I needed further assistance.
The AOL software is bloated, but you can always uninstall anything that you don't need or want to use like AIM, AOL toolbar and things like that. So there is a work around for the bloated software if you take the time to find out what part of the software is really needed and what part is not.
