Re: They are saying "Attention, all you stubborn AOLers..."
said by SilenceGold  :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.  * |
