: I see cable modems for sale at the local store. If I already have cable tv, do I have to pay the cable company the additional $45 a month for their service or will this modem connect directly to AOL (which I have now on a dial up modem) thru the cable system. I get conflicting answers from the locals. Thanks
Yes you do and you cant connect to AOL.
I have cable TV and cable Internet, so I get a reduction on the cable internet and pay $29.99/month.
(I used to pay 24.99 for dial up!!)
AOL does have a High Speed connection option,
