Why now is a good time to get high-speed DSL internet and AOL at a lower price than you are paying now"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you are still using AOL dial-up internet service and paying more than $20 per month, you can now get AT&T’s high-speed DSL internet service and keep AOL at a lower combined price than you are paying now.<\/font><\/p>\n

If you are an AOL dial-up customer, they have recently offered customers who have subscribed to high-speed internet a lower rate of $4.99 per month to keep them as a customer and still allow them to keep using the familiar AOL software and AOL e-mail. On August 2nd AOL announced that beginning in September they will be giving away their e-mail accounts and software at no charge in hopes that advertising revenue will make up the difference. Former AOL subscribers who cancelled within the past 2 years will be able to reclaim their old AOL.com e-mail addresses. You can read more details here<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n

When ordered online, AT&T DSL starts at $12.99 per month and is available in most areas of the Reno\/Sparks area. At that price you get speeds that range from approximately 300-1200 Kbps. Compare that to a maximum speed of 50 Kbps available on AOL and other dial-up internet services. Besides getting internet transfer speeds that are 6-24x faster, DSL internet allows you to be on the internet and be talking on the telephone at the same time.<\/font><\/p>\n

To summarize, AOL subscribers can get AT&T DSL and keep their AOL browser and e-mail for considerably less than they are paying now. Computer Techs technicians can help you order DSL through AT&T’s web site, verify if your computer is compatible, set-up the DSL software, modem and filters, and tutor you on the AT&T Yahoo services.<\/font><\/p>\n

9\/9\/06 UPDATE: AOL now has 2 price plans. $9.95\/month for dial-up access, or FREE for no dial-up access. To change your plan to one of the new plans go to AOL keyword “changeplan”.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
