amc11890 Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 most ppl that have AOL are old and dont no better or they simply dont care. I use to have AOL (it was spam city) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiosFiend Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 AOL is the ISP for non-tech savy people. It's the ISP for those that have a hard time turning a computer on. Their model has always been to put simplicity of use and content above all else. It's not a model that works for anyone that would subscribe to this site....but it's a pretty good business model. I wish I had invested in them back in the early 90's when they were flooding every mailbox with those damn floppy disks. A $10,000 investment in AOL in 1992 was worth just over $7 million in 1999!!

Bird Fan Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 most ppl that have AOL are old and dont no better or they simply dont care. There are some kids that go to my school that think AOL is the only way to use AIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggr3 Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 For some odd reason...I think somebody is yanking my crank....19 Hughes DIRECWAY (satellite broadband) they don't qualify as top in anything....except complaints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 no, i think that is sadly the state of a large part of the younger generations. the amount of stupidity out there is astonishing. i paid something with a ten dollar bill at a supermarket. the kid at the register typed in twenty bucks. at least he noticed, oh you gave me a ten. he then gets out a calculator to figure out he ows me 5.32 in change instead of 15.32. fucking amazing.

Yeah, I was wondering why Direcway was on there. They've lost a number of users in the past couple months too. They need to make the top 24 best IP's. AOL and Direcway wouldn't make the top 100.

cdf216 Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hmmmmmmm.... 20.1 million people that willingly have a spamming, pop up causing Virus on their computers and are paying $25 a month to have their computers ruined and connections slowed down. Talk about Idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 .26 million subs with .3 percent market share sounds about right for dway. that's 5200 subscribers per state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted December 23, 2005 CID Share Posted December 23, 2005 Time Warner Cable = AOL, Earthlink, and RoadRunner. Adelphia was also split between TWC and Comcast, a figure that was not factored into this poll. Plus, AOL and Google recently signed a $1 Billion contract: http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsroom/pr/0,20812,1142800,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
