DUH AOL, dialup cost more than cable!!! I remember paying 50.00 while I have cable which cost 29.99 25mb with two years contract. Without the contract price is same as AOL which is 50.00 it's just the installation fee that you have to pay.

Where did you come up with $50 for AOL? There most expensive dial up plan is ~$26. Even back in the 28K modem days I only recall AOL costing $20-$25. Don't get me wrong, AOL has the worst customer service I have ever dealt with, and it is time to just give up already, but I can't figure out where you came up with $50 unless you were living in a really rural area maybe.

I agree, I never hear anything about paying 50 bucks.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, I have friends that use e.g. hotmail, yahoo, the best customer service I ever see them get was thru e-mail support, and we know how that works out, with aol they still have phone support sucky or not that's still better than any e-mail support.
