Virgene, I have the same setup about which you asked. I have ComCast for broadband and then pay AOL a nominal sum for email services. It probably costs a little more, but I've had the same email for 12 years and do not want to change. I do experience connectivity problems on occasion, but nothing out of the ordinary.
