AOL :P
I've always hated AOL. >:(
I used them for years for dialup in the early 90's, but when broadband became available, it was hasta la vista.
I used to use Earthlink. I really liked them the most out of all the one's I tried, however, still till this day I have never used AOL. I've always been too scared. :P
Now I use Comcast, with no fancy programs installed, I love my "always on" connection that broadband provides. :D

Here's a neat fun fact:

QuoteThe instant message technology used on sites like MySpace and IGN now belongs to AOL. Userplane provides IM and chat technology for more than 100,000 websites on a variety of business models.
Yep, I heard of that, I don't use IGN as of 4 years or so ago so I actually didn't even know they had a messenger service. And as for MySpace messanger, I only know a handful of people that use MySpace and I talk to them all through Trillian Pro.
