Yes Andy, I pay monthly. Nice thing is that they disconnect me so regularly that I get a few free months from my many complaints about their service. The only reasons I stick with them is that I have along history with them and eBay and also met my wife on AOL while living in Portland, OR.
The free CD's they send are really neat. Always different and packed in the same cases DVD's come in. I keep them as I feel they will be very collectible 2000 years from now (future eBay material).
Love that AOL! Ron
