Dh and I are currently paying $31.00 for our aol and an additional $26.00 for highspeed access through Bellsouth. That's $57.00 a month for internet!!!! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to cut the cost? I refuse to give up my highspeed access b/c I'm a very impatient person and can't handle waiting on dial-up. I've been looking up other companies such as netzero, earthlink, etc, but I've only ever been with aol and I just don't know where to go that's cheaper. Please help!

What internet provider do you use?

Why are you paying for both? I have roadrunner through my cable company which is highspeed and I pay $30 a month. Look online at your cable companies site and see if they offer a package deal that would be cheaper. Phone companies have those deals to. So check out both and see which would be better.

We have hi speed through the cable co and just have a yahoo email. Yahoo, gmail, hotamil are all free email sites

I just recently changed my AOL because I also have highspeed through my cable company and you get AOL for FREE!!! All this time I have been paying 19.95 a month and I really didn't need to. Just go to keyword billing and choose the free aol one. Hope that helps .

I was about to write the same thing. I have been with AOL since 1997 and when I left there DSL package they told me that I would now be able to keep their service for free by doing the same thing that fostermomma2 said.

Quick question about the free aol...this is what I read at the site:

Now, I have DSL service through bellsouth (or at&t whichever it is right now), so is that my seperate internet provider that is mentioned above?

I just got this in an email, which seems to have been posted on June 19, 2007. DOES NOT APPLY TO CURRENT AND FORMER BELL SOUTH OR AT&T BROADBAND SUBSCRIBERS, so this probably won't help out the orginal poster of this thread (since you're already a subscriber) but I just thought I'd pass along the info. for future readers of this thread.

AT&T Now Offers $10 DSL Plan

Well, after grumbling about the cost of high-speed Internet in yesterday's post, it looks like relief is finally here. As part of an agreement with the FCC, AT&T is now offering DSL service for $10 a month. To get the offer, you'll need to log in to the AT&T website, and click on the orange "Term Contract Plans." link at the bottom of the "Internet" page. (It's a bit hidden, but well worth the search.)

The plan will be offered for at least 2 and 1/2 years, and includes a free modem. To qualify, you must agree to a one-year service contract, and subscribe to their local phone service. Current and former subscribers to Bell South or AT&T broadband are not eligible.
