*New technology, products and features that ensure an unmatched interactive experience.

To sum it up, we are announcing a series of exciting initiatives that keep our pledge to you to offer the best product and service for the greatest value.
Unlimited Service at One Low Price
Starting December 1, we're offering our members the best of all worlds: new rates for unlimited Internet competitive with companies who offer the Internet alone -- but also including the same unlimited offer of all AOL's unique programming, our unique sense of community, our world-class customer service, and the fastest and easiest Internet technology for one low price.
That's right -- no more watching the clock or rushing off-line to beat the charges -- you can stay online as long as you want and enjoy all the news, information, entertainment and shopping available on America Online, and surf the Web to your heart's delight with the comfort of knowing your monthly price in advance.
Our new pricing plans include the following
*a standard monthly plan of unlimited use of AOL and the Internet for just $19.95
*advance renewal rates of $14.95 per month for customers who pay in advance for 2 years, and $17.95 per month for those who pay in advance for 1 year
*a "bring-your-own-access" rate of $9.95. What do we mean by "bring your own access?" It means that if you already have an Internet connection, for example, through school or work, we want to offer you the same unlimited access to America Online and its thousands of programs and features for just $9.95 a month.
*a light-usage program offering 3 hours of AOL per month for just $4.95, with additional time priced at $2.50 per hour.
