| Restrictive dialup, High AOL BBand cost deterrents When I was shopping for broadband, I looked at AOL. The rep I talked to said I would have to pay both a Broadband fee that was in itself higher than available DSL as well as continue to pay my AOL membership. I think that many AOL dialup users would remain happy if AOL could offer some relief in the area of letting more than one screenname sign on at a time. AIM and "AOL anywhere" help, but they're not enough. Lots of people I know have gone broadband so that more than one user can be on at a time. I don't know if AOL broadband will do that, as I never got past the pricing discussion, but I may have delayed my switch to DSL if internet connection sharing had been allowed under AOL dial-up. The proprietary aspects of AOL E-mail also are causing some to look elsewhere, as they like to have all of their E-mail go through one client. |

Raleigh, NC | AOL Broadband 8.0 does allow more than one screen name to sign on at one time.
I don't use AOL broadband, however I do quality control inspections on the installations in my area.
There's no difference in connection quality, whether it's AOl Broadband, RR, Earthlink cable, Max.inter.net, etc.
The only difference is the software used to access the connection. |

| Re: Restrictive dialup, High AOL BBand cost deterr I have a question regarding AOL 8.0 and DSL connections...
Can we install AOL 8.0 with AOL's DSL service yet also use the Netscape 7.01 (owned by AOL i believe) Browser?
I like the Netscape browser I am currently using with MY SBC DSL connection.
Please help with a response.... |
