...Then I suggest that you try using it. It has a faster speed than
dial-up or DSL (which the satellite/phone companies try to compare to
cable, which isn't true). I have been very satisfied with it for the
past six years, and still am. If you don't have Cox, then look up
local area cable internet connections (at least through Google or
ask.com.

My husband wants to move from New Jersey to Wyoming somewhere or
Montana or Nebraska...I was like HELL NO! They only just started to
get dsl out there...everyone still has dial up! I'm not living in the
middle of no where without decent internet!

I used to live in a rural area and had dial up. I remember many times
getting frustrated over pages that would take forever to download. As
was said below, the problem won't be solved until people stop signing
up for it.

P.S. My old neighbor (I live in a city now with high speed
internet!!!) called Embarq about getting DSL and they told him that he
needed to get at least 50 signatures before they would come out. You
need to check out that avenue.

I think the only way you are going to be happy is if you fork over $60
a month for satellite internet service. I understand your budget
isn't unlimited, but look at this from the provider's viewpoint:
people who demand better service should be willing to pay more. Thus
I doubt they will make any improvements to dialup. I feel like a
dinosaur using low speed DSL on many websites. I can't imagine using
dialup.

It is a shame DSL isn't available for you, because it sounds like it
would meet your needs. Even if a company would consider improvements,
realize it may take a while for that to happen. I think you need a
solution *now*.

Patricia, I think you will find the same issue with this as you did
with your requests for high speed internet in your area.

Rural areas are slow, even on dial up. I honestly do not think AOL
will be able to resolve this issue to your satisfaction.

I do wish you luck!

I have a friend who is very tech savvy, yet still connect to AOL via
his Time Warmer access.

I asked him why once and he said he was just used to it.

The man carries at least three tech gadgets on his person at all times
and works in IT, yet likes his AOL account.

Makes me giggle!

...is I know AOL has good parental controls. My parents had AOL until
my dad died! No need for parental controls there! :)

Patricia B.,

I too am an AOL customer through Time Warner Cable which is fast talk
for pay TWC and get no help from AOL.

It sounds like you are talking about dial-up.
Dial-up is old technology and my guess is AOL is trying to get
customers to migrate to cable connections for their computing needs.
Being old technology they probably care not to keep pumping into it
plus they probably lease those lines from phone companies.

Stop back and let us know what action comes from your inquiry.
