they do. RR offers free AOL accounts included in its service if you like to. However tehy can't even give me aol for free. They can keep it.

I know. RR doesn't advertise it, and AOL doesn't tell people cancelling about it because it doesn't give them money (although it would inflate their numbers even more)

Netzero & even Netscape (own by AOL) offer dial-up for 9.95 and there are some who even now offer for less.

I've never seen anyone pay more... Unless your using an outside line from out side your calling area (long distance) or you've decided to pay for a dedicated phone line.

Is it TRUELY $9.95 though?

If you take a glimpse at the T.O.S you'll see this little line: In addition to standard subscription fees, taxes, regulatory fees, or additional services such as international usage may be included in charges.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16031339 Thu, 04 May 2006 16:48:06 EDT Re: You've got mail, but its not from AOL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16029231 tiger72 : I agree that AOL should offer their services as a premium package for some users ($5/mo), or as an addon to RoadRunner's RRlite package which is priced at $30/mo. TimeWarner needs to get AOL and RR to play nicely and both companies can benefit. I've never been a fan of AOL, but there are people who use the internet and have absolutely no clue of what they're doing, and AOL is of use to those people. A service like AOL is great at bringing new users to the internet. They need to capitalize on that.

Netzero & even Netscape (own by AOL) offer dial-up for 9.95 and there are some who even now offer for less.

Their only real hope now, would maybe to lower their prices (big time) and offer AOL free as a package deal in another company (Verzion DSL, ATT Online, Charter Cable, ect...).
