Re: Goodbye AOHell said by MTBikerChris:said by Matt:For all the fun technical people poke at AOL, they accomplished two things we should ALL be thankful for: 1) Unlimited Internet Connectivity for a fair price: $19.99 for unlimited dial-up forced other ISPs to match it, even though AOL didn't provide unfettered internet access until the end of their life. Fixed.. It was $29.99 when it was first offered, reduced to $19.99 much later. |

Not sure where you lived or what rock you lived under but it was 19.99 I just got a pc and it was a metered service back then just like CompuServe till the 19.99 Unlimited service came out. If you paid 29.99 you got FUKed |

The Time Warner company has cut the price of its unlimited dial-up service to $19.95 a month from $23.90 for new U.S. subscribers who sign up within the next few weeks.
So again, when AOL announced their unlimited plan, it was $29.99 a month. You are mistaken. |

Miami, FL | In 1996 they experimented with 20 for 20. 20 hours for $20. Then at the end of 96 they introduced full unlimited for $19.95. Then they raised it a few years later to 21.95 and it topped at 23.90.
It was never $29.99

I was paying $29.99 for something with AOL however, it may have been an unlimited account and their BYOA. |
