Is AOL accessible through a DSL connection??

[LuDaCriS66]

Just wanted to know if its possible.... my sister wants to try it out on her computer in her room since our computers are LANed with a Linksys BEFSR41 router with one of the computers having a winmodem... 😛 must talk her out of it

Yes.

Just enter your login and user name just like normal on aol.com

 

[minendo]

Yes. Set it to connect via TCP/IP.

It may also be called ISP/LAN.

Yup...but if you have DSL, why use AOL?

The only good thing about AOL is that it's slow. Why would anybody want to speed it up?

So you're paying the AOL monthly fee just for an E-mail address? Or do you get to keep it after you cancel?

Change your e-mail address. Why continue to pay another montly fee to the devil.

Well family decided on keeping aol as BYOA which is i think 9.99 a month, and the dsl we have is capped at 4megabits, dads company pays for it 🙂 So basicly 9.99 a month, and everyone in the family keeps their aol screename which they can use on aol/aim and their email.

Isn't AOL accessible no matter what ISP you use?

 

[John]

AOL on the BYOA plan is 14.95 now.

 

[AznRyda]

15 bucks for BYOA is outrageous! what a ripoff.

 

[PsychoAndy]

yeah.......but why?

 

[John]

<< 15 bucks for BYOA is outrageous! what a ripoff. >>



I agree. AOL needs more revenue to pay for all of the expansion and mergers.

 

[LuDaCriS66]

Thanks for the info guys.. it's a 3 month free trial thing but if she wants to continue it, she's paying....

 

[yakko]

Why not just get AOL DSL?

 

[spanky]

yes.... here in nj... they use verizon's lines.

 

[AzNmAnJLH]

I pay for just the email address and the use of their 800 number when I travel to check email with my palm. I only have the 3 hour/month limited access plan for $4 or 5 a month. I was also not willing to change an email address I've held onto for 9 years. Amazingly I get more spam on both my yahoo and hotmail accounts than the aol one. Go fig.
