by Freak369  in Online Stores & Services,  - Top 10, Apr 30 '03
Pros: Large database of dial up numbers, pricing plans, multiple email accounts.
Cons: Frequent disconnections, tons of spam, lack of customer service, bad browser.
America On Line [AOL] is probably the easiest online service provider to get hooked up with. After being pimped in movies such as You’ve Got Mail and Austin Powers, free start up discs everywhere and commercials...

Pros: ease to use, fast connect most of the time

Thanks to a very good friend, she corrected me. I had this review in the incorrect place. It is now in the correct place. Thanks friend.

Pros: Easy interface
Cons: N/A
When I first logged on to AOL years ago I was connecting at 14.4 baud and my computer had a whopping 8 megs of RAM. Back then, I didn’t really know much but then again I didn’t really need much. I had e-mail, content, buddy chat with IM’s and a...

Pros: I will be happy if I can just get rid of it.
Cons: My thoughts on the cons are not suitable for print.
It’s almost time for my contract to run out with a local Internet provider service, and since the one I’m using is slow and cuts me off at inopportune moments and since I got an AOL 9.0 install disk in the mail yesterday, I thought . . . why not try ...

Pros: User friendly; many features; decent customer service
Cons: log-off problems; SPAM
I signed up for AOL over two years ago when I finally decided to take the plunge and have internet access at home. I'd been using the internet for years, but only at work. I chose AOL because several friends swore by it, and I'd been told it was...

Pros: Easy Navigation, You've Got Mail voice
Cons: Price, Getting Booted Constantly
Why in the world would I rewrite a review that already has over 2,000 reviews on it? Almost a year ago I wrote a review about AOL. Life, like Epinions, changes and so has my viewpoint of AOL. I’ve deleted the previous review and am taking a different...

Pros: new features
Cons: slow internet connection, "booted" constantly
AOL has been around for many years. From 3.0-6.0, It is a service I cannot live without. However, I can hardly live with it. I like to call it my own AO-HELL.
I have recently upgraded to their new version of 6.0. I did beta testing for...

Pros: I will not judge
Cons: I don't know if this has happened to others, but it did happen to me
Well I finally did it. I had been checking out many different Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) for a while now, after AOL kept letting me down. I was scared though, because AOL was so easy to use and navigate thru web sites, and other then the shut...

Pros: Easy to use.
Cons: Don't get me started.
I'm reminded of a quote by H L Mencken: "A man may be a fool and not know it". That's truly the case with AOL: Their service is lousy, yet the people running it don't know it. AOL is commonly known throughout much of the Internet as "the online ...

Pros: Easy to use and setup, content is all in one place
Cons: Price, memory hogging software, connectivity issues, bad FTP interface, small webspace, etc
Well, this is #643. Normally I wouldn't bother reviewing something that has basically been beat to death, but I feel the need to relay my experiences with AOL after spending six years with this service and my background in computers. I joined AOL ...

Pros: AOL is very user-friendly and is a great place to meet new people.
Cons: AOL has slow internet access, a lot of hackers, and you can get a lot of junk e-mail.
I have been a very faithful AOL user for over 5 years now, despite the fact that they provided really slow internet access. Since AOL was my first internet service provider, it became my security blanket and I just couldn't let go of it. All my...

Pros: Ease of use, new security features, fewer disconnects.
Cons: System does have its bugs at times.
I've been a subscriber to America Online since 2001, and although it wasn't my first Internet Service Provider, I don't regret having had to make a switch from my original ISP, Juno Web. In retrospect, I should have gone with AOL from the very start ...

Pros: Very user-friendly - Affordable - Reliable
Cons: Support isn't the greatest - Some limitations (See review)
Note - This review is based upon AOL’s 56k dialup service, using version 9.0 Optimized. So, why is AOL number 1? Well, AOL makes a lot of claims in it’s advertising that they don’t seem to be able to back up. For example, their spam blocker ...

Pros: My Screen Name
Cons: The Long Distance Service
"Hi, I'm Suzanne. I'm an AOL user." There's got to be a support group for us, too, doesn't there? I mean, how much can one person moan about something and still not do anything about it? My love/hate relationship with AOL goes back to 1998....

Pros: Really nice features if they ever get it to work
Cons: Doesn't work often enough; slow when it does.
I saw a description last night for a new browser, AOL Openride. AOL clearly was trying for a more functional interface. Perhaps they are feeling some heat from Mozilla Firefox. Anyhow, the browser was billed as having 4 always-open windows: mail, ...
