taxikid,

MCI charges only $14.95 per month for internet access (if you use them for long distance). I cannot imagine why people would stick to AOL, especially considering their service is so lousy.

In the meanwhile, the stock continues going up. Reminds me of Iomega.

Best regards.

Taxicab, if AOL charged you for months after you cancelled, I'd suggest you join the class action lawsuit that was recently filed and write your state attorney general. They pulled the same trick on a friend of mine. She had to cancel the card to get them to stop.

Taxi,
AOL charged you after you cancelled? My Isp messed up the order when I switched from AOL and connected me at 1.50 per hour instead of a flat 17.95 unlimited. Someone on my staff pays my personal bills so I didn't know the difference. I just checked my last three months billing and my internet bill was $1063.12 for three months. I called them on the phone and I now have a credit but it was a little tense for awhile. AOL is the biggest, best promoted, most widely known internet service provider. If you want to buy stock in an ISP here is a name just about anyone will recognize. Short AOL in about three years.

Taxi, - I have a friend who had so much trouble cancelling his AOL service, (AOL refused to stop billing his credit card), that he resorted to obscenely flaming their message boards until enough complaints were reported against him and he was finally thrown off the system. Once they have you they don't want to ever let you go.
Regards,

MT
