RSSAOL Inks Broadband Deal with Charter
By the Betanews Staff | Published February 3, 2006, 10:59 AM
Further expanding its list of agreements with broadband cable and DSL providers to offer low-cost high-speed Internet, AOL this week inked a deal with Charter Communications. The news follows similar deals with BellSouth, AT&T and Qwest announced last week.
AOL will bundle its content and software with Charter's cable service for $25.90 USD per month. With its dial-up business dwindling, AOL has turned to advertising as a way to keep revenues flowing. And such deals with broadband providers expand the company's reach among a new generation of ever-connected consumers.
AOL on broadband is like a tricycle with training wheels and a turbocharger. Ugly. It's customer base volume is testament to the fact that most Internet users are stupid as a tree stump. Censored and dumbed-down to make the 'net cute, pretty and safe for those that are challenged by solitaire.

Nope, AOL didn't die. "Realy bloted(sic)slow and ugly." eh? For the slow part, try cleaning up some things on your computer like clearing your cache, a disk cleanup and a defrag. Ugly browser? You didn't even say what you don't like about it.

|I can't believe that AOL is still around. AOL and Google belong in the same category with me. I thought AOL was dying, but since the merger with Google, they have been forming a lot of partnerships lately.
They are taking on a new look, rather than just standing next to their horrible browser.

If you don't like AOL, get rid of it. AOL works just fine for many millions of us who don't think it's junk.
