AOL DSL or Dialup?

[ViperMagic]

Which would you rather have? I'd take dial-up, ive been on it my whole life, no loss.

 

[LuNoTiCK]

AOL DSL must be faster than Dial-up. I dont think I could go back to dial up. O, well thats just me.

 

[Danman]

Man, this is a hard decison but I would have to say AOL DSL because of the speed between that and dialup.....it was a really hard decision.....

 

[LiQiCE]

You're lucky that DSL is available in your area. I wish it was available for me :-(

 

[Linflas]

I would take acoustic coupled 300 baud dial up before dealing with AOL.:Q

 

[Kingofcomputer]

yeah, 300bps modem dialup is enough for AOL, isn't AOL just a BBS for chating with other AOL users only?

GET A REAL ISP.

 

[ILikeSprite]

As much as I hate AOHELL I could never go back to dialup..........................

 

[LAUST]

Go with AOH, even if it is them I'd take anything over Dial-Down

 

[Harvey]

I hope AOL isn't your only choice for DSL ISP's. That's like finding a turd in the punchbowl.

last time i dealt with AOL was back in AOL 3.0 where they booted me for being in "warez" chans one to many times.

I had verzion dsl for about a year til i moved :-( now im stuck on 56k... going from dsl to 56k do you know how that feels OMG!!! im use to this crappy speed now, took me 2 weeks LOL. i would glady get AOL DSL over 56k

 

[TheVrolok]

If I had no other available high speed ISP, I would definitely go with AOL DSL. I've had AOL for years now and never have had a problem with them, and now that I have DSL(tho not AOL DSL) I could NEVER go back to dialup.

I want to stay far far away from aol as possible.

 

[yakko]

I would take AOL DSL.

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

dial up.

how many registry edits does aol do? excuse me? 600? did i hear you correctly?

i dont even think aol makes non-windows (except for mac) software anyways. so funk dat!

I like to control my computer, not let AOL do it.

i had aol plus (AOL DSL) about 2 years ago when it just got out of beta and man did it suck. i had problems connecting and staying on. tech support sucked @ss. they had me try the same thing over and over. i must have re-installed drivers and software about 30 times. i kid you not. i thell them i've done it before and they're like are you sure. i repeat the steps and they said it was correct. those guys didn;t know what was going on. i figured it out and fixed the problem myself. then a few weeks down the line, my connection started to slow down to the point where i might have as well been on dial up. they sent a truck roll to my house and everything tested fine. i had a "very clean" line and was told it must be on AOLs end. They use to have a message board for users to post and about 97% of it were horror stories. i finally got hold of a tech who told me the truth. he said that the problems i've been having were on AOLs side and were being worked on. he told me things should be back to normal in about a week. he was right, but it started to happen again and i just said screw this. dropped aol dsl and went with covad. my initial connection was a consistent 550 down and about 100 up on covad, but i have a friend that works in the NOC and i've been boosted to 1300 down and 680 up and i'm 12,000 ft from my CO.
