You have no clue what you're talking about. Have you ever used AOL broadband? Cause if you had you might realize AOL Plus is as good as your local phone company or cable company service, the only problem is their software which many people hate. The connection is awesome.

I don't know if "awesome" would be wholly accurate. I've got Roadrunner, which is also routed over the ATDN network, and their network performance is downright pitiful much of the time.... |

I was talking about my experience with their DSL. RR isn't available in my area.

SanFrancisco does have a good point. If you look at the AOL infrastructure, its pretty good. The point where AOL fails is the software.
I do avoid AOL like the plague though
Down with AOL! |

i dont know if you were tricked into beleiving you had aol plus and didnt but when i had aol plus (bout 2 years ago) the service was terrible, 400-300 down 60 or so up, pings worse than the average 56k, (NO server under 300-400ms).

I had AOL Plus through Verizon which was my phone company.
Verizon tried to play tricks with me like cutting off my DSL and making me wait longer to get so I would get DSL straight through them but I wasn't falling for it.

Well your info says Comcast, so now I am confused.
When was this "experience"? |

It varies by area. Some areas are great, some are awful. Here in New York we have a hybrid Fiber and Coax cable system, which runs great. |
