what you can get depends upon where you live...AOL does have a dsl now...but I'm not aware of how much it costs...but it might be something to look into since you already have aol...otherwise...call up your local phone company and see what dsl service they offer and how much it costs...also call up your local cable company and see what they're cable internet costs...those would be your local internet providers and would be a lot more reliable to work through...but it's really based on what your phone company provides as their dsl service... ]
If you don't live in the middle of nowhere, there will be 2 providers of high-speed, a cable provider(the company that sells cable TV in your area) and a DSL provider(the company that sells phone service in your area). Call up your cable company(look in the phone book if you don't use cable) and phone company to compare service and prices. Because the ISPs are state-sponsored monopolies, there are rarely more than 2 providers in a single area; any other providers you see advertised are usually resellers.
Cable starts out faster, but the more people who use it in your area, the slower it is. In my experience it's also less reliable. DSL starts out slower, but is always at a steady speed, and it's more reliable.
If you do live in the middle of nowhere, you can get satellite internet, which is crazy expensive and slower than DSL or cable. Search:
