I've used AOL for a long time. It's enabled me to connect to the internet from anywhere in the US because they offer an 800 number for dialup. This is not free but is helpful when you are traveling and long-distance calls are restricted. We once stayed in a condo in Chincoteague where you could not make long-distance calls although 800 numbers were allowed. Relatives who had MSN were out of luck, but AOL came through.
Now AOL is offering free internet to broadband users. Should I switch? I'm not sure because there are still times when I need the dial-up option. I was also concerned about the free webspace that AOL provides members. Their customer service rep assures me that "you may continue to create web pages if you choose to switch to the AOL free service."
I was also assured that "You may have up to 7 Screen Names with the AOL free service. There is no charge for having more than one Screen Name." Also, "AOL Journals are available with the AOL free service." (Journals are similar to blogs.)
Some folks sneer at AOL, but AOL has been good to me. I remember calling their customer service well after midnight and getting help.
