And besides our service is very easy to use which can help alot of people, just because you are a computer wiz doesnt mean everyone else is.
So think about this, AOL has over 40 MILLION customers in the US alone........alot of customers for a company thats complete shit right?
Now I admit alot of their policies are kinda sleezy but give me an example of an ISP that isnt completely evil in that respect, i have quest DSL at both of my houses and i get variable speeds (which is bull cause i pay for 512k and sometimes i get 384 and even 256) also the other one is a 1.5m connection with an external modem, and it was the hardest shit to get setup EVER, i had to call tech support about 50 times and i finally got it to work on my own.
So just trying to get a little perspective out there for you all. There are more people out there who hate AOL than hate any other ISP but that is simply because AOL is the largest dial up ISP (or was for a long long time, i remember when the only way to access the internet was through AOL, back when i was running aol 4.0 )which was my favorite.
Wow. That's a larger number than I assumed. It isn't any worse than other ISPs. For instance, my broadband service (and pretty much everyone else's) is capped even though they say all you want anytime. The reason why AOL catches so much beef is because it sells software along with the service so there're more things to complain about.
