Judy, Joan is correct. You can continue using the AOL client as you do now. You just change the way it connects. There is a dropdown menu on your sign-in screen just below your password window. Simply choose the TCP/IP selection. Remember with cable, you will actually be connected to the Internet 24/7 so be sure you have a good firewall that covers both incoming and outgoing. Unlike Joan, my preferred way is #2 in Joan's message. Every thing is just as it was before I had cable and therefore I was very familiar with it. I see enough new things with testing.... :-p Sharon In a message dated 4/23/2010 6:54:25 A.M.

You can do it one of two ways: 1) You can remove (or not use) your AOL program but access AOL via an independent browser (using your broadband ISP for the access) to get mail and navigate to other AOL features or (and I feel this is the preferred method and the one I've been using all along) 2) you can log onto you AOL program just as always but you won't be logging on via a phone connection. Your connection will be set up to connect via the high speed access by TCP/IP connection. AOL offers most of the features you are used to free in this case (even using the AOL software) because you are not using up a connection that costs them money via the phone lines. When you or the new broadband provider sets up their service for you -- make sure they change your AOL settings (in your AOL program) so you can logon via the broadband connection to AOL. Joan
