My sister is with AOL. They kept e-mailing her offering broadband for £20.00 a month and eventually offered her the service for a tenner a month so she took it.
I was with AOL for six years on dial up prior to 2003, I stayed with them at the time because they were the ONLY UK service provider at the time who let me have uniterrupted downloads, everybody else would cut you off after 30 minutes or so.
But at that time they I couldn't connect online using Linux - has that changed then?
Not for me now though, definitely a little too amateurish for me and although you don't have to use it, that dreadful browser of theirs.
