4. You have to pay for AOL tech support, but they are no longer an ISP

Instead you pay them $5/mo so you can download their software or you subscribe to them in order to get help........

I use their webmail and we haven't paid a penny to AOL since 2002. AOL was free with TWC/Road Runner in 2002.

Verizon bought out AOL last year and AOL and Yahoo have merged. It has been downhill ever since. Even on their website they say the got rid of them.
