If you had a real ISP account I doubt you would make the comment
"AOL has a great service compared to everybody else" I have experienced AOL first hand via a friends accounts, they were lousy, major lag,forget about the Web, I could not access anything. If you want to pay their hourly rate to get stuff that you can get elsewhere much cheaper go ahead. My ISP costs $ 30 a month , I get 100 hours plus 10 megs of disk space for my home page, and I have access to everything on the internet. The only way AOL will survive is if they offer more hours for the same price and improve that slow front end that you have to go through when you use AOL. But then Wall Street would worry about margins , so you may get a better value as a user but as an investment, no way!!! AOL is losing subscribers at a rather
fast pace and new subscriber growth is slowing. A few years ago when many people did not know much about the internet AOL was the way to go , it was easy for someone who knew nothing. Thats not the same today, more people who are going to get on line will ask "whats a good service" and most will be suggested a local ISP. To many people have experienced just how lousy AOL realy is to recommend them.
