<< Whats your experience with internet access thru AOL? Personally I find it slower with more traffic jams than thru my direct IPS provider(IDTC). I was thinking of just using AOL now with the new pricing plan but I don't like crawling around the internet. Does anybody else have similar experiences? I know its not my computer(gateway p133,32ram,28000mod),& I've done comparisions accessing the same sites and it allways seems to take much longer on aol. I like the idea of having only AOL but I don't want to be bottlenecked. >> Hey Robert, I find using the web slower through AOL than direct ppp. Are you using netscape outside of AOL or are you using the clunky browser integrated into the AOL client? Try keyword "netscape" on AOL. Download Netscape and the AOL winsock and follow the directions to run netscape over AOL's winsock. Compare that to your ISP. I'm curious to see if there's a big discrepancy. Thanks. -Rich
