Ok I admit it......not gun related.

I would dump AOL no matter who was or wasn't courting me. They are known to be anti-gun, and kick gun related sites of their server. You should dump them on principle if nothing else.

Earthlink is pretty good....sometimes connections are slow and you can get knocked off...I suspect thats due to the recent merge with Mindspring and hardware hasn't caught up yet. You might wish to check out Concentric too.

I use WWDB and rarely do I get a connection under 50k. It's about $13.00/month unlimited access, 5 e-mail addresses and 20(?)Meg for you home page.

I use to work for Earthlink. They have strong tech support and decent customer service. The quality and reliability of their connections can change from area to area but is good overall. If you're in the boonies you might not have as many options as you would in a large metro area.
Progun or antigun, and regardless of the deals others may or may not offer, AOL STINKS.
Their customer base is so freakin' huge, they don't have the hardware to support all their subscribers. Hence, you get a LOT of lag, slow connections, and lotsa broken ones.
Earthlink and MediaOne are OK--but for the price, NetZero is excellent (no fee). The only downside is, because they get their revenue through advertising, you have to answer a whole lot of marketing questions, and you have to put up with their advertisement box that you can't close or minimize. Still, for free internet access, it's not bad, and connections are usually quite decent.

I've had Earthlink for awhile now, and overall, I'm very happy with their service. Great tech support and customer service, decent rates (for what you get), and high connection speeds. The only complaint I have is that sometimes my connection will sit there and do nothing for the longest time, and then either start working again or disconnect (50/50). Could be because of the merger (as mentioned above). Otherwise it works great. I've hardly ever gotten a busy signal, but that part will depend on where you live, too...
ANYTHING is better than AOL. Those freebie CDs they keep sending me make great targets, though...

I have Earthlink, in fact just signed up with them. I wouldn't have if I knew that they're owned by Sprint, making them an anti-gun company.
