And the price. AOL charged by the minute and were slow to switch to unlimited...much like Blockbuster was reluctant to kill late fees and ended up losing to Netflix's DVD distribution (even before they got into streaming).

I guess that was motivator to look for alternatives.

I found it funny when people started switching to broadband and AOL still somehow convinced them they'll need to pay them.
