I would be interested in the details of why AOL has annoyed you. I used to be with AOL (dial-up). I did not like having to load bespoke AOL software. I made the dreadful mistake of joining Wanadoo broadband. Check before you join for a long minimum contract period. Vispa is worth a look. Use Google, look at other sites, e.g. ISP review
