I pay a good deal less than that....but I do have a 3GB/month limit
during working hours (-ish).

The problem with AOL is their draconian incoming mail policy....

Pretty long working day, IMHO. Ideal for an insomniac :-) Peter M.

What is their incoming mail policy?

I ask, as my sister uses aol (poor soul!), but uses hotmail instead of
their own. Just curious - especially as she said she stopped using it
because 9 out of 10 mails were sex spam!

They have an ineffective but draconian, knee jerk set of rules. For
example, anyone running their own mail server on a listed residential
ADSL line will have email rejected automatically; this is even for a
fixed IP. Likewise for dialup. I don't remember others offhand, but AOL
is the ISP that seems to reject the most legitimate mail. If, for
example, you want to sign up to a cheap phone service from 18866, you
can't do it if you have AOL, because AOL bounces your sign-up email.

They have the full policy on their site somewhere, but I haven't time to
find it just now...take a look.
