Re: Free good broadband content..uhmm where?

YES..you pay for all that. Add it up buddy.
Quicktime trailors..lol..dont make me laugh.
As for foo fighters..it was a live two hour concert. I love people who comment on something they never seen or experienced. Sort of like religous right wing nuts protesting a movie they never seen. If you want good broadband content..YOU PAY FOR IT.
Downloading movies???..what the hell does stealing copywrited material have to do with an isp that provides broadband streams to watch hassle free.

It's spelled "trailers" champ.

And the truth is very little of what they offer can't be found elsewhere either for fee and for free. It's INSANE to pay them $55, or 15 bucks a month on top of what you're already paying for your broadband connection, and quite frankly, anyone who's doing so is...to be polite...a tool and easily sold to.

I know it must suck that your Mom only lets you have AOL broadband or some other crappy ISP like a low speed telco. But when you grow up you'll be able to choose like the rest of us! So don't feel sad, and don't take out your teenage angst on an article that paints AOL for what it is. Behind the times and too expensive for what they provide.

Alright highspeed, I had AOL early on I am ashamed to say. But still having family that does, and one who has AOL broadband all I can say is that I think it is a waste of money.
So you can stream CNN, I have Direct TV.
Free live Concerts? Ok, can probably find that if I wanted to watch the Foo Fighters, but then they aren't free, you pay $55 month or close to it.
All of AOL's resources and the funky software that takes how many tries to finally turn off? Don't want it.
But this is my opinion. And I'm not a computer geek, and I have people skills:)
I like my Verizon dsl line (most of the time) and my price now being 34.95 soon to drop another $5, no contract, own the equipment.
I like launching Mozilla and going where I want, and when I'm done clicking the X and watching it close and not needing another 3 tries before shutting down.

so so true..I remember the days when i logged on to A(L)OL with a 9600 baud modem. With all the crap that will come down that "revolutionary" broadband they offer, it will seem like your using a 9600bps modem. LOL, ur N idiot to pay for AOL.

But you assume it is all of interest... who gives a about rats whatever about Foo'd Up Fighters.

If I want to see CNN I turn on the TV

It's still all AOhelL marketing crap... they care nada about providing anthing, except as a means to MARKET YOU to partners. AOL wouldn't even offer a WWW connection if they did HAVE too, to have any customers. Their prime goal is to have your demographics all to themselves to sell you to the highest bidder, and charge you top dollar for the disservice to boot.
