Re: Comcast vs AOL DSL

I look at it like this: why even bother with AOL when all they do is take the price that the ISP in your area, such as Comcast, charges and tack on additional $15 for services that they "offer" but you could get for free elsewhere.

Also, AOL's software is the epitome of bad programming. Every glitch, error and bug that could be included in a program has been thrown in there. And to top it all off, they build a system where any AOL technician can view your files? It's part of their "help" system. Yeah, no thanks. I'll help myself.

AOL = Garbage. At least with Comcast you can choose to not install their crappy software and the connection will still work. Comcast wins hands down.

Re: Comcast vs AOL DSL

AOL is the biggest peice of trash company that I've ever seen. I can't believe anyone would ever sign up and overpay for their spammy service.

Re: Comcast vs AOL DSL

I couldn't agree more. AOL is even worse than MSN.

I do agree that AOL does suck big time, but I have to disagree with you about using their software, on AOL DSL, you don't have to use their software, you can login via PPPoE and just surf with IE.
