Benton, AR | They are saying "Attention, all you stubborn AOLers..."
Go and get broadband even if we don't offer any branded AOL options.
Comcast and ATT will love to take those users in under their wings...
I should buy some Netzero stocks and sell them in a month. |

If aol is truly raising prices to drive away dial-up users and then hoping they will use an aol branded broadband associate, they may be making a huge mistake. aol may just annoy their long time customers enough to make them jump to broadband, but any broadband provider not tied to them. Maybe in the Charter & TW cable areas that may work, but in other areas they could be dead meat.

| What does AOL offer, that keeps subs? Their email address?
I tried to elicit good answers, once before.
For their fairly high price point, what (proprietary) services / products does AOL have that keeps their subscribers / customers.
The inertia / headache of changing @aol.com email addresses?
(Which, AFAIK, AOL now gives away for free ("life"), even if for *NON* subscribers?)

| Can I ask you a question about the AOL email address? My mom will be going to Comcast (that's another sad story) - she doesn't want to lose her AOL email address, so we figured we'd with the BYOB plan. Is there a way she can get rid of AOL completely _except_ the email address?
TIA

Correction: The inertia / headache of changing @aol.com email addresses, which are some of the only ones I know of on the entire Interweb that use some alien protocol, that aren't free Webmail accounts.
And also, is it just me, or does it seem that 90% of all those stupid chain letters on the Net come from AOL? The ones "pass this on or get bad luck and go limp as a noodle in the sack forever, and have your **** fall off so you never get a date ever... blah" - *uses delete button... still has his luck, his ****, and his love.  * |

I think it will go over just fine.
