quote:Why would anyone who has a great broadband/dsl/cable service opt to use AOL for free along with their own service?
Well, my brother uses a different internet service and ALSO pays to be on AOL. Why? Because he loves the groups / forums is has been apart of forever. They all met once a year for a weekend picnic. They often call each other on the phone. It's just like a family for them. Most of them really know each other. He just won't give that up, so he pays for AOL too.
