| What a joke AOL has become... My father has been an AOL DSL subscriber for the better part of 5-7 years. After his last move about 2 years ago, he was given a DSL connection on 768/128 speeds. He pays (I believe) about 40 for the connection then some additional charge that is discounted due to being a GM retiree. So for AOL on a 768/128 dsl connection it costs him roughly 50+ a month. It was funny to see this article today... I have been on him telling him.. Drop AOL and get SBC/Yahoo with twice the speed for half the price. He woudn't budge because the Mrs. is attached to AOL. So I then suggested.. Call AOL and tell them to up your speeds or you'll switch... Well, I did just that for him... Their response... "Switch!"
Funny.. They cry about losing subscribers... But what do they do with to keep them? Such the typical "Big" company.. They talk a good game but really could give to Sh!ts about you as a customer. How sad.
It has been kinda of comical to see the rise and fall of AOL. I remember 10 years ago.. AOL being KING! What a demise of a huge company, and a LOT of employees! Must have had some BRILLIANT leadership over there at Time Warner. |
