BT Broadband. They're generally reliable and fairly fast, certainly better than certain other UK ISPs.

P.S. AOL still exists?
 
Cox Communications I have what they call the Ultimate Tier. 55Mbps down and 5Mbps up.

My actual speeds on my wired connection are almost always faster than advertised.

Here is my current speed on wi-fi with my MacBook Air.

And on the wired connection on my Mac Pro.

Yes, in the US there are still quite a few people using their dial-up service. Also their email.

Even the online service still exists though it's on it's last legs. Several months ago I logged onto my AOL account and tried some chatrooms. Vert few people in them. I mean vey few as in 5-10 in rooms that used to be full to where there would be 1-2 additional rooms created. Cities like Denver always have 0 users. Plus the few people in those rooms don't talk, like they are bots or something.

People moved on starting around 2007-2008 or so and AOL became a ghost town.
