I have become increasingly dissatisfied w/ AOL in the past few weeks and will be cancelling my membership as soon as I use up my FREE months remaining.

I have been an AOL member for over 3 years from the days when they used to charge by the minute. I have had monthly AOL bills in excess of $200 back in 1995 but since AOL began giving you points for using the AOL charge card, I haven't paid them a dime in over a year.

Recently their service seems to be getting worse and worse. I've been getting "low memory" errors just about everytime I use AOL these days. I've got 128mb of ram and over 10mb of free HD so I know it's not my computer.

It wouldn't be so bad if there was something on AOL that I use but more and more I find that I don't need AOL and I can find everything I want on the web and faster too.

Recently I tried MSN's trial membership and to say the least I was very impressed. The connections were reliable and quite fast too. The only complaint I had about MSN was no more than one email address is allowed. Currently I need at least two email addresses and if AOL ever allows for multiple email addresses I will make the switch from my local ISP.

I'm probably one of the few that will be dropping AOL for MSN but if AOL doesn't improve their network, sooner rather than later they will begin seeing their new membership numbers start to flatten out and once that happens, that 500 PE will shrink to about 100.
