AOL Free
Tags: Technical Software Internet
AOL paved the way for easy dial-up Internet access years ago, making it easy for newbies to get online with a minimum of fuss. AOL isn't quite as useful any more with the prevalence of high-speed Internet access, but many people are still hanging onto it, often because they don't want to change e-mail addresses. Well, if you have an alternate means of connecting to the Internet but are still paying for AOL, several months ago they quietly started a new, free service. You need to call AOL (and everyone knows how easy they make THAT) to request the change to free service, but if you aren't using it for dial-up Internet access you have nothing to lose but the monthly fee, which you're already paying to the cable or DSL company.
