I do a lot of work online and have tried a lot of different services. I use AOL for family/friends and it's true that the service has improved over the last few years. But the browser really stinks.
Compuserve is now the same as AOL, so if you're choosing between the two, go with the cheapest. AOL also offers a discount if you bring your own access. NetZero was a nightmare. I used it when it was free and could never get a connection. But Patrick has a great solution, which I use with my business email. I connect via cable. Pricey, but fast.
