AOL for broadband has its advantages, and you will find many customers who have used AOL for dialup with stay with them for switching to broadband services. While I do not know for sure, AOL has probably come up with a better way to keep customers and hold them back; perhaps by offering the entire package for the same price you might get from your phone or cable company. However, if you have been dissatisfied in the past, you may be eager to try some other ISPs.
The time you have spent with AOL may make your decision for you. If you have not had a pleasant experience on them with dialup, you may not want to get AOL for broadband when you intend to switch to a faster connection. If you want to stay with them, ask them for a deal, a great one as possible. They may give you what you want in order to keep you as a customer. Just like any other products and services, AOL for broadband will have its good points and its bad points; the final decision should be about service and price. However, it's all up to you to decide.
If you are switching from dialup Internet service, or already using AOL, they may offer you AOL for broadband when you made the switch. For many AOL users, this is something they do because they do not want to lose and change their AOL email address that they may have been using for years. However, for those who have never had AOL, you might wonder if this is something you want to do first.
The last time I moved, I signed up for a free trial with AOL dialup before I decided I would rather have DSL or Cable Internet. The trial was fine, but I had a hard time getting out of it once I decided to go another way through. They hounded me to purchase AOL for broadband, even though I repeatedly said I don't need it. It was an extra cost beyond what I needed to pay for my monthlt Internet service.
The more I said no, the more they tried to convince me. I have to hand it to them, they are good at what they do, and I realize the person I was talking to was only doing his job. The competition for your Internet dollar bill is fierce, and they want to get and keep all the customers they can wherever possible. I was not convinced that I needed to pay an extra five dollars a month for AOL for broadband. At the end, they finally listened.
