Is it possible to use AOL with existing internet?
I have DSL and use internet explorer and mozilla as my browsers, but i would like to know if I can somehow use AOL with my existing internet connection?? If not AOL, what can I use with my existing internet connection (MSN?...)

I already have AIM and MSN messenger.

Lol, exactly. You know how MSN Explorer (7.0) is free and u can have an internet connection and still use it without having to pay monthly.

What i want to know if its possible with AOL. You know how they always have the 45 days free trial thing, what if i want to try that but i dont have Dial Up and i have DSL?

Basically im bored of IE and I want to have a more interesting browser i guess.

And you want AOL's browser? :o
Lets hope the guys from Softwareworld don't read this thread. :lol:

There are tons of browsers out there, all more secure than IE, with great features like tabbed windows, skins, and much more.

Like Opera, Firefox, MyIE2, etc. You should do some searching, and stay away from AOHELL. ;)

I use to do it all the time with an existing broadband connection. Just select the "tcp-ip" option when it ask you how your going to connect.

They still want their 27 dollars a month though, half of what you would pay for their broadband.

On the contrary aol software is quite helpful for a lot of people that don&#39;t feel like fooling with other browsers or software etc.

The main thing to point out is all the content that you can customize with the aol browser. For old people or thoose that don&#39;t know much about computers and other software it saves a lot of time and they can catch up on tons of stuff like news, sports, chat, etc. all with that easy to use interface.

It sucks, but If other people like to use it for that reason I can understand why.
