ISP Review: AOL for Broadband
(compatible with Cable or DSL Internet Access)

This isn't really an ISP service in the traditional sense. Instead, it's the AOL service you know and love -- but optimized for broadband. You need to have a cable modem or DSL Internet Service Provider already installed, but once you do, you can add this on top of that service to get access to some truly awesome content.

AOL is the king of the online services for good reason. Remember that AOL is part of Time-Warner? That's the reason that AOL members are always getting access to Time-Warner content -- books, movies, online magazines, music tickets, etc. -- before anyone else. Couple that with the power of high speed Internet access, and AOL for Broadband is a lot like a multimedia movie theater crammed into your PC.

AOL for Broadband also provides tons of add-ons for free for your Internet experience, like anti-virus software, email anti-spam built in, firewall technology, and a bunch of enhancements for AOL Instant Messenger and AOL email.

And for speed junkies, AOL for Broadband also gives you TopSpeed technology for free, which can make surfing the Web up to two times faster, the company says -- very few other ISPs offer something like this for broadband. (As if high speed Internet access wasn't fast enough!)

If you've already got high speed Internet service, signing up for AOL for Broadband is one way to maximize your investment! You (or your kids) can watch online movie trailers, live performances, and more.

But you've also got to look at the price. Do you enjoy randomly surfing the Web, or does your family use it mainly for news, education, entertainment and staying in touch with friends? If the latter, then AOL for Broadband is a great Internet service because it provides all of those in one central, multimedia location.

Remember that you've got to sign up for high-speed Internet service separately, however.
