AOL to Raise Dialup Prices

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday February 22, 2006 @10:18AM from the going-the-way-of-the-dodo dept.

United Bimmer writes "America Online has announced that it's going to raise the price on dialup users in an attempt to encourage them to upgrade to broadband. The new rates will near $26 a month, already drastically higher than the market norm for dialup access. This will bring the dialup prices to almost the exact same per month as broadband depending on your plan. However through this, they do still offer an unadvertised lower price for those who can't get or don't want broadband can request lower-priced plans, including an unadvertised offering of about $18 with a one-year commitment."

Who in their right mind would even consider paying for AOL?

If you are dumb enough to use AOL in the first place, you are dumb enough to pay any price they ask.
