I connect to the internet via cable, but have kept my AOL account because it's been easier to control how my young kids are able to surf the web.  I've been paying 7.95 per month for this, but yesterday I called to cancel the account and found out that they are already offering BYOA (bring your own access) customers AOL free of charge.  I've been reading that they MIGHT, but they actually are.  SOOOOOO, anyone else connecting to AOL through cable or dsl... call them up - call the cancellation number - and ask about it.  I asked the rep if it applied to new customers also and she said no, it does not.

Actually this is good to know. My gramps has just recently gone to DSL and hasnt wanted to cancel his AOL due to the email address that the entire family uses .. Thanks for sharing this!

I cancled my aol months ago, and was able to keep the e-mail addy. You may have to have a aim account, I don't really remember what they told me

I just tried getting in on that deal and they offered me a $15/month package (which doesn't make sense since my current package is only $10/month)

Then I told them I would be cancelling my account at the end of this month and they told me "have a nice day".

Yeah .. AOL cares about it's customers  ::)

:)) :))

I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh.  But jesus Mayhem!  EVERYONE got offered a better deal than what they have!  They offered you one where you pay more!  That's HILARIOUS!  (I know, I have a sadistic sense of humor)

Seriously, call them back.  I honestly think it all depends on who you get on the phone.

I had AOL and when I got my cable connection I called to cancel and they gave me the service free FOREVER.

How long ago was this?  And see what I mean... they don't offer the same things to different people.

Too close to the mountains?!  Sounds like a crock to me lol!  Does broadband use a wireless signal like satellite TV?  If it doesn't, then I fail to see how your topography would interfere.

That's how it was explained to me, that it was a wireless type signal.  I can tell you that we have certain areas in my neighborhood that cannot get a cell signal, perhaps that's because of the mountains also?  I dunno :)

AOL is the spawn of Satan  >>:D and Earthlink isn't much better!


Yahoo email is free and won't change when I move every 2-4 yrs.  I just call the cable co and set up cable inna net - I have the modem and router.

I think that AOL was the best thing to happen to the net because it forced other companies to start offering more services less expensively.  But, when cable and dsl came along I knew it wouldn't take long for AOL to have serious problems.  I know they started offering broadband connection but the people I knew who had it had nothing but problems.  I am sure it's great in some areas, but not here.  We are too close to the mountains, or so they told us.
