Yes, that's how I have AOL for supporting my customers even though I don't have broadband. Basically, they charge $8 a month to use their browser and their proxy server.

Aol has had a broadband thing - AOL for Broadband they call it

Hey, if aol can turn IE (a product that microsoft almost pays people to take) into a product people are willing to pay a monthly fee for, more power to them! AOL obviously knows what a large segment of the population wants in software.

Why use AOL at all if you already have DSL?  You don't need to pay more for a service you don't need... I'm not talking problems-wise... I'm asking for a justification to continue to use AOL when you already are paying for broadband...
Maybe people are just happy with AOL, that should be reason enough  ;)
Now stop harassing all the AOL customers   :P

Yeah, that sounds about what I pay for my cable connection... Plus digital cable I wind up paying Comcast around $70-80 a month... May soon switch to SBC and DirectTV though, as I loved my satelite TV experience...

What I still can't figure out is for the people who are paying for a broadband provider, why in the world would you still keep AOL... I understand DJ has to have it now (though I forced him to give it up at one time)... But for the rest of you with a high speed connection why keep paying extra for a service you don't need... Everything AOL gives you, you can find on the net somewhere else for free... Is it because AOL centralizes it all for you?  That's what favorites are for... I just can't figure out why people would need AOL with a broadband connection...

I have used AOL for 6 years now and I very rarely have a problem,  If I do have a problem it is my Dinasuar of a pc that lets it down   hahahaaaa....

Anyways, you guys  service charges  here in UK, it costs a fortune no matter who you are with,  slowest broadband is usually £19.99 p.m.  Top broadband is £26.99 the price is very close across the board.
At the end of the day it was just by accident that I choose AOL Glad I did... ;D

With SBC now you can get great DSL
Your right, I have been using it almost 2 years now. At most I get 2 disconnects a month and it connects itself right back up within a minute.  My only problem is in my router that I tried it save a buck on. 2 of the ports are shot and I have to reset it because it overheats every few weeks or so. SBC customer service is great too. I called them for help one time and they accually sent someone out here to help.  :-\

I never had a real problem with AOL. it was just slow with the older computer I have. But now I have cable and LOVE it  :D

I have Satellite and to get an ISP with them is outrageous so I'm stuck with dial up :'(

Check out if your local phone company and see if they have dsl. My parents have DSL through sbc and it is really good as well.
