Guest Mole Report post Posted January 22, 2003 Right now, I have AOL, which is $23.90 a month, along with the additional phone line which is $17.31 a month. The cable connection would be $19.99 a month, for the first three months, then $39.95 a month after that. Basically, it would be cheaper to have the cable hook up, which is like 10x faster. It's a sweet deal. I called AOL, and told them about the situation. They then gave us 2 months free, so it worked out pretty well. My question is, does anyone have a cable modem through Comcast? Is it worth it? Thanks fellas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ace309 Report post Posted January 22, 2003 You should have asked for six months free. I don't have a Comcast modem, but my cable connection through Adelphia is really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lethargic Report post Posted January 22, 2003 Mine is through Comcast. I've never had any problems. And of course it's worth it. Even if you get the shittiest broadband there is, it's still worth it to get out of the stoned age of AOL dial up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted January 22, 2003 Just switch to cable when the 2 months is up...my buddy has Comcast cable modem, and if I had the cash I would too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted January 23, 2003 yes, and after the 2 months are up expect the longest lecture of your life from an AOL rep telling you why you shouldn't cancel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted January 23, 2003 Yeah, he was giving me all this shit. AOL Guy: You should go to keyword: BYOA, it is very interesting. Now, if you get the cable modem, you could still have AOL, and only pay $9.95. Me: Ahhh, that ruins the whole idea of me getting rid of AOL. I wanna save money, so I wouldn't wanna do that. AOL Guy: Blah, blah, blah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AOL Guy: Blah, blah, blah. Damn...I know they have to push their product and all...but who in their right mind would keep AOL on at $10 a month if they had cable. I honestly don't see how they could have 1 selling point that beats going to cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted January 23, 2003 I have Comcast internet. Yes, it's definitely worth it. I've had it for two and a half years now, and I will never have non-broadband internet again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted January 23, 2003 I have Time-Warner Road Runner, and if you use the Internet daily I say splurge and get it. I was paying almost as much for RR than I was when I was using a dial-up and extra phone line (for my house anyway). Once you go cable, you will never be able (to go back to dial-up)...

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted January 23, 2003 You know, I bet you could keep calling every 2 months to cancel and get 2 free months.. I wish I could "think" about getting a cable modem...All I can do is think about what it would be like if I could get one.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted January 23, 2003 I made the switch to Road Runner a few months back and I have loved it ever since. They'll pry my cable modem out of my cold dead hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted January 27, 2003 Well my pops still has to agree to it, he does pay the bills. He will, just when all this transition with my mom's stuff is done with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 BYOA is $14.95. I have that because my internet was working funky before. I'm switching to the $4.95 plan to keep my e-mail addy. AOL E-mail is the best perk as it's really easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted February 1, 2003 Yes Game, that is one thing AOL really knows what they are doing. Their e-mail service is the best I have seen. It isn't at a website, so it doesn't take 50 years for something to get deleted and load. Other than that, it blows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
