Dial up is insane.
I use the net allot but seeing as I like to live in a big old house in the middle of no where I have a wonderful 14kb/s dial up connecting (that sometimes works). Last month, my surfing cost
Hey Molly,
I'm definitely not on the side of AOL on this, as I hate them with a passion, but you did miss a minor point about this price hike. According the Associated Press article:
"Those who can't get or don't want broadband can request lower-priced plans, including an unadvertised offering of about $18 with a one-year commitment (the broadband plans through the Baby Bells also require the year's commitment).
But if they do nothing, they are kept on the dial-up plan and will be charged $2 more a month.
Left unchanged are the $14.95 limited plan with 10 hours of dial-up and the $239.40 annual prepaid plan, which works out to $19.95 a month and allows subscribers to get a partial refund if they cancel early."
Nevertheless, it's still pretty evil (or 'greedy' .. I guess it's interchangeable here) of AOL to force dial-up users to pay the same price as broadband users.
