You guys should seriously try Netzero then. AOL doesn't have an ad banner covering half of your screen, with most of the bandwidth devoted to it.

I'd hardly call where I live da'hood.

But yeah, you are out of luck in the boondocks.


But truly, I might even give up my high speed cable access for the chance to live out in the peacful country-side. Note how I said might.

Well, you have more cows than neighbors, you live 45 minutes from any place of interest, you get made fun of because you sound like a hick, and you wake up to a damn rooster and not an alarm clock. There is only one way to hit the snooze button with the rooster, but then you have to clean off the carcass

Can you get internet access by satellite? I hear those stupid ads on tv saying it's gonna go wireless someday. By then I will probably be in a college 4 states away

I have heard that sattelite is slow, and of course it only works for downloading (you still need a phone line to upload).


Or so I've heard.

But I still wouldn't mind living out in the country: I wouldn't need a rooster, since I won't be farming. And I can handle being made fun of, since I don't leave my house much anyhow.

Oh well, I can handle slow speed. And you should get out more if you don't care about being made fun of. I don't need 20 friends like some people but I don't want to be isolated.

Now this is an interesting tactic. "Look, I can demonstrate an ISP that's more annoying than AOL! Therefore, ipso facto, AOL must be good!"

Yeah, well everyone knows that cable or DSL is better than 56k but that doesn't mean I can use it. Moving up to AOL from Netzero is like moving from 56k to DSL. I bet none you you have even used Netzero or AOL. I guess people hate the big corporations. If they don't take up commercial space, some other company will. I think people don't like their annoying ads or their CDs they mail you. As an ISP they are top notch.

In Canada we still have real country, places that are just blank on the map, you've got to fly in cause there ain't any roads, and the lakes don't have names.

I used to use AOL before they stung me with a 500 quid bill for 2 months internet usage. At that time (2 years ago) I had the same 56k modem I have today, but of course AOL didn't even support 56k modems so I was forced down to 34k speeds. After the enourmous overpricing fiasco we've moved onto 3 other ISPs, 2 of them run by small companies, and each was far far better and far less costly (plus in my experience IE is a far better browser than the **** AOL supply you with).

AOL is a good source of coasters (I have a dozen different "flavours" of the v.5.0 coasters - my geek friends love 'em and my wife makes me hide them when anyone else is over) but not much else.

Rasslin, once you get to a college dorm and start using a pure, unadulterated connection to the net you'll look back on this thread with the same kind of nausea you'll feel when thinking of the birds and bees speech your dad gave you.

And what kind of college do you think I will be going to?

You either have an extremely easy but very cheap college that won't even have internet access or an expensive college where you have to study all the time anyway. If you spend all of your time playing games, you will fail. In the easy college, they won't bother to spend money on internet access because they know their students are going to be failures in the job market.
