AOL still charges $24.95 a month for dialup.

I don't know why anyone would pay that much for dial up when you can usually get high speed for that price.

I remember when AOL was charging an hourly rate for connections, and I was spending a lot more than $24.59 per month. AOL was the first major ISP to switch to unlimited usage for a monthly fee, and the second to offer Internet e-mail. It was the first ISP to have a reasonably good user interface. In many rural areas of the country, AOL was the most economical choice, and it may still be in a few areas. The broadband era doomed AOL, but they deserve a lot of credit for being a pioneer during the dial-up age. They gave a lot of people their first experience on the Internet.
