Going through our logs we can tell that nearly a XII of you are still using AOL via telephone dial - up . For lashings of people in remote locales it ’s their only choice , and starting at the end of the month their bills are going to be going up a banging $ 2 a month from $ 9.99 to $ 11.99 . That ’s about 20 % , but they do n’t have to pay it ; AOL is offering users the hazard to keep their $ 9.99 programme if they pinky swear to not call technical support if its not a connection - refer issue . How exactly does this work ?
Does AOL give them a unlike support number so they can order who ’s who ? Does the technician ’s caller - ID pop up and display , “ This is a $ 9.99 client , do not help ” ? Are they shunned in AOL chat room as being soiled ? We ’re not sure .
We ’re moderately sure AOL is doing this because there are many people who would call AOL support for non - dial - up relate problems . Grandma knows they can help with some problems and assumes they ’re there to facilitate with all job . While it ’s weird cause client choose a different plan to annul this problem , we can completely understand . [ CNet , viaConsumerist ]
