You're right, AOL are doing everyone a favour. They are persuading their
customers to sign up with a proper ISP that offers a comprehensive service.

Unless things have changed very recently however, they remain one of
the few providers who offer an uncapped broadband service at a popular
price-point. A haven for p2p downloaders.

That their service is cheaper is not a surprise, as it is of cheaper
quality than a decent ISP.

Do you mean they block emails from you send to AOL recipients?
If so it's probably because you're sending from a mail server with no

Blueyonder, if you can get it, beats the pants off AOL now. They're
upgrading 2 and 4 meg services to 10 meg, at £35 a month. Uncapped,
unblocked, unlimited.
