    The orginal post in this thread has a very very slim chance of being about money saving. The post is more than likely to ask a question that google could answer better than any of us.

    Yes you can. Thankfully for the last couple of years, AOL has used normal internet accessibility the same as any other ISP with the only caveat being the MTU setting needs to be 1400, or at least it used to be. So there's no longer any need to use their proprietary connection software.

    If you use an ADSL modem router, it'll all be seamless.
