Believe it or not, AOL is the best option for some people in some places

I was never arguing that it wasn't. I was mearly pointing out that even if a service can beat out AOL on all three fronts (faster, cheaper, and "better"), doesn't mean people'll just jump ship.

During AOL growing pains (during peak use hours it was damn near impossible to get on), my parents switched to another local dial-up service, but maintained their AOL account because they liked the content it provided. After I showed them they could get everything they needed without AOL, they still remained with it. Today, they have a cable modem and STILL connect to AOL over TCP/IP.
