AOL is Bad


There are a lot of ISP's out there and a lot of them aren't even known. First it all started out with one ISP, then two and then the previous video store company, Erols went into internet business. It was a nice little world of ISP's, that is until the bad ones came. First, a really bad company rose, AOL. Their job was to make a nice ISP but, as it turned out, they made much more than an ISP, and it was really bad. They started out with an irregular kind of ISP, it had it's own little browser, channels and features. All the previous ISPs had either offered Mosaic or Netscape and they might have e-mail, but only sometimes. AOL decided they were going to be different, that they were going to change the world and become the lead ISP, as it turns out, for a while they were, but many people did not like them at all. First, they are very pushy and have all sorts of autolaunch options that are hard to turn off, Second they were money stealers and crooks. They would take their service away and delete your account, but keep charging your credit card for a long time. Overall, you should go out and get a nicer ISP like Erols, Toast or Netscape. For one thing, don't get Compuserve, for some stupid reason AOL bought them.
