I too use a small internet providerer.  AOL is hemorrhaging 
money and the way to save money is to lay off your service 
and support staff.  The caveat to using a small internet 
provider is that they may go out of business (two that I use 
to use did so).  Any provider that offers up dial up service 
will probably disappear in the near future as the modems are 
slow and (in case for me) you cannot always get a line.  I am 
on cable moden and I am very pleased.  The speed of the cable 
service is dependent upon the number of users, but even in 
the slowest of times it is always faster than the dialup.  
But cable access shall too well disappear.  My son wants a T1 
cable run into the house or at least a DSL line.   Think I 
will pass onn those ideas for a while.

Hotmail, Yahoo?  Forget them.  I am tired of all the adds, 
and the fact that their security is so poor that the spammers 
like to hack into them and send their spam from their 
accounts.
