As a person who used AOL back in the day, how did AOL get themselves in this branding mess in the first place? I know they lost my business 11 to 12 years ago to DSL provided by SBC (now part of AT&T) but I also couldn't wait to see them go. We called SBC Send Big Check at the time, because DSL was damn expensive. MORAL OF THE STORY: don't trash your brand for a quick buck, consumers remember that stuff.
