i'm using the former RR Lite(768k/128k) service that is now AOL HIGH SPEED, and I couldn't be happier, all for $25.90 a month. The service is quicker than the dialup i was used to, and just the right speed for me. Ordering couldn't have been simpler! Here is a time line of how everything went down:
On June 2nd, I called AOL to order, the person that answered was very helpful, and spoke perfect British English in India. The AOL person took all my information, and at the end of the call they transfered me to Time Warner Cable to set up the installation, Very seemless. From June 2nd til June 12th I was able to use the AOL dialup service for free.
On June 12th, the Time Warner contractor came out and installed everything(I never had cable, since I have Directv, so they had to put a whole in the floor.) He brought out the Cable Modem, and installed it via USB.
Everything has been up and running since then.
I like how I get all the stuff that comes with the regular RoadRunner service for free.
I would recommend the aol high speed service to anyone that has dialup and doesn't need a super fast internet connection. The service is perfect for using VOIP.com VOIP service!
I would however, recommend against using the AOL Security center, and using the free Anti-virus/spyware/firewall that comes with RoadRunner, its called Computer Assosicates eTrust. less intrusive, and less system intensive. But I'd use the AOL parental controls, as it provides a way to monitor internet use outside of the AOL Browser thing.

I use AOL for so many years for my SN and Email to link together and AOL offers more features than anybody else. Everything is exclusively for AOL members only.
I am a big fan of AOL and can't complain much. But AT&T yahoo dsl's service is alot faster.
Im only keeping AOL for my email and screen name.

Pretty much what I expected based on AOL's track record and mass-consumer offerings. (C-/D+)

I've had aol 6 to 7 years if need speed aol is probably not the best thing to get.
It pretty cheap though very good if you are a person that likes to write emails or likes to IM people.
