hi compute, i dont know who told you AOL service is horrible but they couldn't be more wrong. Aol is by far the best there is if you ask me, they help detect problems on our comp and either fix them for you or tell you how to fix them. they offer free firewall, free virus protection, and free spyware protection too. i have never had a problem with their browser ever and i have been with them for 5 years. I'm not sure if SBC yahoo dsl is cheaper than AOL but if it is, i think its worth it all the way.

I heard its crap and dont recommend you to use it and for your question about why alot of people use it , thats because it is very cheap and lots of people take the lowest price they can get espically if there parents are the one paying for it.

well as I am in India and we dont have AOL here so I am not sure about there ISP service but I have heard a lot of negative comments about there browser. It seems to me that whenever they come up with a newer version of their browser they only get negative comments about it. I think they are competing with Microsoft in "WHO IS GETTING MORE CRITICS THESE DAYS"

If you see AOL, run for your life. We once used them and it was horrible so we got something else. But once you leave, get prepared for getting millions of 'Come back to AOL, 2,401,302 HOURS FREE!!' cds and stuff.

AOL is great but only if you live in America. I don't think that many people from other countries would love this program. Anyway I think these services are great for AOL users and I salute their program. They did a good job. They also have the MESSENGER program which is very cool too.

[right][snapback]180099[/snapback][/right] i also dislike aol. its not worth its price at all! you can get a better email address for free. and if its chatting your worried about you can get free download of aim at aim.com and get free netscape account with it! thats a lot better then paying $30 (or more) a month. and if your not into netscape because it doesnt hold enough emails for you just go to gmail it holds tons!i must have 1000+ emails of spam on my spam account. Aol cant even receive most emails  so if you are looking to get an important email you cant get it so i wouldnt go with it at all total waste of money in my opinion
