AOL Time Warner debacle

[Ifeelbloated]

Let's see, almost a 100 billion dollar loss for the company. Also, AOL still sucks in my opinion. They were my first ISP and I quit and never looked back. I still get their damn CD-ROMs in the mail. I think they just missed the obvious next step. The promise of AFFORDABLE broadband access. I've been an internet user for years now and I'm still stuck using dial-up. I think DSL is a crock and Cable internet just a hedge until something truly great comes along.
Anyway, I shed no tear, I didn't own stock in the company and I think AOL deserves to go down in flames.

We all get those stupid CD ROMS in the mail. Pretty annoying.

Next one will be 999,999 free hours! Yeah, I hate AOL too. ;)

What is it that you dislike about DSL and Cable? What are you expecting to be next?
