As a former member of AOL, and a Present member of Charter Pipeline, I'm
guessing that the real issue is price. I know what AOL charges for just dial
up, and for a couple bucks more I get lightning fast cable and I am only
guessing here, but AOL's broadband service is DSL? Still using phone lines?
Granted, it would be voice over data, but I'm sorry, the cable connection
seems to be a winner here. As far as the issue of Anti Spam compatibility, I
believe AOL has that built into it, however I am not familiar with it.
Personally, I use a free 3rd party Anti-Spam program which seems to work
well, and as for other security, well, Norton AV 2004 Pro, and a cheap
Belkin 4 port broadband router have done an adequate job of protecting me
from all the Blaster, and sobig viruses and whatnot throughout.

Just my thoughts... hope others reply with theirs...
