AOL still makes about $3 Billion a year off dial-up subscribers (what we
call the access business). We are now no longer an advertising company
as we were for a few years but now we are a "Content" company and we
have a new service that assigns stories based on page views etc.
I'm surprised the pages take time for you to load. Just using a browser
like Firefox and going to aol.com I find everything is quite fast. We
just recently "re-launched" when we broke away from Time Warner with a
new logo and a "cleaner" home page.
Anyway, looks like the ride for me may be over. I work with a great
bunch of people in the email operations group and it will be sad to see
the place gutted.

Sorry about that.
I never understood AOL's business model.
When they cut back on hosting web pages,
I cut back from $29/month to $10/month.
I can go to $0 when you leave.
I find the interface is getting more cumbersome,
and the time it takes to link to their web pages is often long.
This wasn't noticeable on a dial-up service, but is on a high speed line.
I just leave the AOL site when a page takes more than 5-10 seconds to load.
I'm looking to deprive them of eyeballs and ad revenue.

I killed my AOL account.

I probably won't have a job when I get back from Oz in January. 1,100
people took the voluntary separation package which leaves another 1,400 to
get axed early next year. They just opened 33 sysadmin jobs... in India.
I shoulda taken that package....
