What's wrong with AOL?

It insists on installing its own software regardless of your preferences. Thank you very much, MS is already bad enough.

That, and it offers really poor quality internet service at ridiculous rates...

Poor dial up speeds, Often busy signals, spy ware programs, advertising pop ups, you must run their software which is utter crap, cost, can't play games, and often get disconnected while dowloading or surfing with no warning. Oh ya did I mention all the spy ware they install? And AOL causes Windows XP and W2k to lock up or "Freeze" often enough for MS to issue a DO NOT USE advisory.

Go with a local provider if you can find one. Most of them don't have spy ware and don't buck you off line after 20 minutes of idle time.
