5 Reasons AOL Should Have Quit a Long Time Ago

AOL, more commonly referred to as AO Hell, is one of the single worst service providers ever.

I only use it to keep some things around.

Now would it be safe for me to say as to why I keep A'IM' :p? Either way I remember back in the days [god I sound old like that] in high school when I had AOL. Paid for it myself and thought it was pretty cool because everyone else had it as well. Then I think local company had a better broadband service or something and I just dropped it.

I never got why some people insisted paying $20+ /month for the dial-up service. Was it really worth it to have access to people profiles for chating up locals. I payed half that for the same internet, and still got to chat with people using AIM, minus the AOL view profile. But know I enjoy broadband, and left that whole IM'ing thing only, and mainly use it for downloading, and playing games multi-player.

times were different back then
when everyone was grateful for dial up. when the internet didn't exist publicly. I still have aol in case the world ends ill have dial up and + my prices are lower it barely costs more than netflix.

AOL sucked back then and still sucks now. I canceled my account with them years ago and I had to explain to them why I did not want to use their service anymore. I threatened to kill them in their sleep if they did not turn my account off like I asked since they thought they had me by the balls and I had no choice but to keep on using them. They turned it off and told me I had problems but at least I had it turned off :).

I got my prices lowered lol its almost free basically for me.
