Re: Lame

This is a good move. I got AOL about 10 years ago when there really wasn't anything else to get. When Broadband finally became available in my area, I just kept AOL.

After a while I got tired of the bloated software and just downloaded their communicator software which lets you turn services off. I just use their mail program which is much better than Outlook, Thunderbird, etc..

I called up, AOL is now free for me, except for any premium charges. I use AOL voicemail (it is really good) so I will still be paying $5 a month.

I asked the cust rep if they would have an ala cart dialup service (for the times when my cable goes out) and he said no, but he said that was a pretty good idea and asked if it was ok if when he recomended it to the higher ups if he used my name. I dunno if he was blowing smoke up my butt, but I told him no problem.

I called at 11:45 pm and only had to wait a couple minutes, but I bet if you call between 6am and 8pm in the next few days, you will be waiting forever.

Good move on AOL's part.
