At least they're not lying about it anymore...

too late...

Edit: But then again... I'm on aol broadband... and it's starting to get slow...

[DarkDragon]

Dude, get broadband. The last time I've seen a connection that slow was on my 286's internal modem, what, at least a decade ago?

And broadband shouldn't be much more expensive than AOL's bloated rates. Then again, if your neighborhood isn't connected, you're screwed.

[gdorf]

Get real broadband, not AOL. Its worth talking your parents out of AOL.

[Ganonator]

and thats version what?? 4.0? 5.0?? The last time I saw a connection like that was good ol' aol3.0 for win3.1.. it was a 486 back then, with no features and solitare, and lotus - remember lotus?.. ahh those days.. 1993 that was.

[Ich]

That's 7.0, and I have 400 mHz, 384 MB RAM, and a 15 GB harddrive. It's working better for now...

[zables]

you poor thing... stuck on AOL, your getting the supreme shaft man
i suggest that you talk your parents outta AOL all together and get some real broadband service,
no body deserves that type of cruelty...

[DragonFang]

I had it for a LOOOOOOOOG time.... and even uprageing sucks (Too many people always on)

[Michael Moore]

You know a comapny sucks when they advertise 24/7 on TV with people saying how cool it is. I use a phone company MTS dsl. I might go with Shaw though.

[Ich]

Exactly. Just like MSN. A good ISP sells itself. A better one doesn't have to sell itself, because it's free.

[Fiyerstorm]

I like my custom smileys on 8.0!

Rawr!

*gets disconnected*

[MrCow]

i had aol for 4 maybe 5 years. now i got att broadband the service rarely goes down and i always can get it back up. I love it!

[Monica]

Wow, I'm glad my parents NEVER wanted AOL because the long distance would be way too much money. We use Bayou DSL (on this comp) and it's almost instant and never disconnects. On the other comp. we have Bayou 56k which is pretty fast for dial up. :)

[Elemental Knight]

Out here in the boonies (Columbus, OH) we tend to hate AOL and use it's cousin, Roadrunner. It's like AOL Broadband, I've heard, except it's better.

And less crappy.

And not AOL.

[MottZilla]

Call your phone company and ask them if they offer DSL. If you have SBC they most certainly do. It's most likely better than AOL though you can never be sure. However you can be sure if you bitch and whine enough they will fix it.

[DragonFang]

I wish we could change off of aol... but my brother needs the
"gReAt" PC that aol has...

[KingOfHeart]

I like aol, Did any one upgrade to 8.0. Even though I wish it was faster.

[satanman]

I've got 6.0 :(
It's actually not as bad as people make it out to be, although I only get it to say about 52000bps (56k modem).

[KingOfHeart]

Did you ever want to upgrade it took 2 hours to upgrade to 8.0
