America Online does not offer a cable internet package, but it enables you to subscribe to a third party provider without losing AOL’s familiar environment. AOL has some features that are not offered by other Internet providers. Of course, they have the usual product offerings such as Spam protection, adware and spyware protection, the firewall and parental controls. But aside from that, they also provide freebies such as VIP access to media - video games, music and music videos, news and movies. Mind you, these are proprietary content, so you will not find them elsewhere. You get to enjoy enhanced instant messaging so that you can also include pictures. Customers can also avail of the AOL computer check-up plus unique features such as AOL’s parenting channel, KOL (Kids Online) and homework help. Customers can also create their own blog or webpage at no extra cost. If you are not familiar with creating a webpage or blog, the web designer feature can help.
The package is also ideal for families as you can have up to seven e-mail accounts and screen names with 20MB of storage for each. All these can be logged on at the same time. If you are not sure of their offering, you can avail of their free trial period. AOL’s offering is also among the most extensive when it comes to coverage areas. It also comes with Port Magic, which is a utility that helps you set-up devices for gaming. The catch, though, is that the anti-virus software comes with a charge. But additional services such as the pop-up blocker, spyware scanner and router configuration utility are included.
