I thought AOL Dial-Up was around $25 a month,but it was like 4 years a go. |
|
| There still is a $25.90 option for "premium services". It includes like security features, xDrive and insurance. Its absolutely ridiculous! |

|
| They claim that they'll cover up to $10,000 for identity theft and $1,000 for computer hardware should anything go on while connected to them. I call BS on this one! |

Same with me. With greater wireless coverage in rural areas, dial-up's becoming passe and AOL can't seem to figure that out.
*starts preparing AOL's coffin and grave.* |

Yeah, when did they drop the price so low?
Last I remember were these stories:
»AOL Price hike
»AOL's Price-Hike Gamble
where their dial-up was > $20.

And I thought they were in the coaster business. Go figure. Since AOL chat rooms are the #1 place for gays to meet, they'll pay $11.99 since it is cheaper than going to the bar, the bathhouse, or Tom Cruise's, er, Leo DiCaprio or Jeff Gannon's home. I'm kidding on Tom Cruise; he sues over jokes about him and makes you join Scientology.
Actually, did you know there is a FREE HSI service for gays? In LA and SF, a CLEC gives free 3 mb DSL service if you are a member of the Gay Organization.

Yep - same people have been saying AOL should have changed their model before they did - same people who are now saying AOL will die due to their changing their model for the better. In other words - typical hypocrite behaviour. |

| They would be sued into oblivion. If I lived there I would pretend I was a fag so I could help discriminate against non-gay people . |

Give me your address. I still have several laying around somewhere.
Our new desktop and notebook computers both had AOL pre-installed. |
