If you are switching from dialup Internet service, and already use AOL, they may offer you AOL for broadband when you make the switch. For many AOL users, this is something they do because they dont want to lose their AOL email address that they may have been using for years. But for those who have never had AOL, you might wonder if this is something you want to do.
The last time I moved, I signed up for a free test with AOL dialup before I decided Id rather have DSL or cable Internet. The trial was fine, but I had a hard time getting out of it once I decided to go another way. They pursue me to purchases AOL for broadband, even though I repeatedly said I didnt need it.
It was an extra cost above and beyond what I needed to pay for my Internet service. The more I said no, the more they tried. I have to hand it to them, they are good at what they do, and I realize the person I was talking to was only doing their job. The competition for your Internet dollar is fierce, and they want to get and keep all the customers they can. I wasnt convinced that I needed to pay an extra five dollars a month for AOL for broadband, and in the end they finally listened.
