I REALLY do not understand why people hate AOL so much. I have been with them for many years and I cannot imagine changing my ISP at any time in the future.

Yes, they do tend to overtake the PC......but I find them unobstrusive and reliable. They offer a really good "home page" with up to date news and streaming new music videos. They supply Mcafee anti-virus and firewall for those too lazy or tight to buy the software, IF they cut you off for whatever reason, they re-connect immediately...even if the user is in bed!

..............and the best thing is that ALL advice is absolutely free and that includes consulting with "experts" on line!

I started with Tiscali and they were absolute rubbish, I then tried "virgin" and spent hours on a premium rate phone number trying to sort out problems.... I dumped virgin and went with AOL and their first job was to go through with me how to get rid of the remnants of virgin which had invaded my machine.....and it didn't cost me a penny!

I now pay £29-99 for a 2MB B/B connection, I know I could get cheaper.....but I am extremely happy with AOL and their services!

For those that are anti-AOL, Please consider that it is the largest (I believe) ISP in the world, and yet one of the most expensive, so to keep their position, they HAVE to be good!
