I'm confused. Will I still be able to use aol.com to get/send my email? Access to the Internet?

We are elderly and hubby hates change. He says we can keep our aol account for email and access to the Internet. Can somebody clarify this for us?

1. You've got FAIL

2. I just looked it up

the only thing ending is dial-up internet, the email and instant messaging functions will still remain!

So, you can tell the change resistant hubby that he's right!

3. We have Firefox for internet access. Will that change?

5. Firefox is a browser, should work with whatever you use to get to internet

I use Firefox and I have a DSL and it works fine

6. Firefox is not an internet provider

It's whomever you get internet through ie Xfinity, Verizon, Spectrum, etal.

Firefox is a webbrowser.

8. Nope.

It would only affect you if you had AOL dialup internet. You're fine, everything will function exactly as it currently does.

4. It looks like just the dial up is going away next month

7. I thought they were only ending dial up

I didn't think it had any impact on email, but I could be wrong.

9. My wife still has aol email

You just will need an internet provider.
Xfinity has it all in one black box.

You are going to notice an extreme increase in speed of your connection. You are going from a Model T to a Porsche. 😂

10. If you use a dial up modem then you will no longer have access to AOL.

If you have DSL/CABLE or Starlink then you can still access AOL Mail and messenger. If you have AOL dial up service then you should look for a new Internet provider. If you are on a fixed income DSL/Cable ISP's have programs for low income or fixed income users.
