AOL Nudges U.S. Dial-Up Subscribers Toward Broadband

[IGBT]

Text

Currently, subscribers to the AOL With Unlimited Dial-Up Plan pay $23.90 per month; but starting on March 9, they will pay $2 more per month. AOL began notifying subscribers about the impending price increase this month.


At the new rate of $25.90 per month, dial-up subscribers will be paying the same amount as or only a few dollars less than they would for the new AOL High Speed broadband plan, announced in January and available now.

how does AOL broadband work? do they use DSL? so is it just AOL wrapped around my local Verizon DSL?

I'd gladly pay $75 a month for what I had 2 years ago with cable...
Dial-up sucks. We tried it and AOL dial-up sucks more than any of the 3 other dial-up services I've tried.

It's probably a promotional rate for 6-12 months. Then it will go up to $45-50 a month.

You buy the DSL, then pay 10 bucks a month to Use AOL's proxy service (their browser)
