Re: pretty sad

There are "broadband lite" tiers at that price point in SBC and Verizon territory at least. $12.99/mo for 1536/384 (SBC) and that includes a free unlimited nationwide dialup account you can use a the same time while travelling, etc. Even factoring in the cost of the phone line (which you need with dialup anyway) it's less than what AOL wants to charge for dialup alone.

It's not broadband availability, it's inertia keeping these folks on a $25/mo dialup.

Re: pretty sad

$13 is not for current customers, though.

Re: pretty sad

If they are on AOL dialup they wouldn't be 'current customers' now, would they?

And in fact if you know what you are doing you can be re-rated to the $12.99 rate even if you *are* a current DSL customer.
