Close call... but I'm still not paying for Internet access!!

I've had AOL since early June now and haven't had to pay a dime for it. I got it free for whatever it was, 50 days or something with one of those 'try it free' disks that are everywhere. After the fifty days were up, I was able to con them into giving it to me free for another month... and another... and another... and another. Tonight, I thought I was in trouble and that my lucky streak had ended because I got someone new on the line. She said she had only been there about a month. Oy. She didn't really seem to know what she was doing yet and didn't even know all of the price plans to suggest to me (which I would then turn down, saying they were all too expensive...). She put me on hold for a significant length of time twice, all the while I kept thinking, 'She better offer me free service for another month after all this waiting.' I was worried, though, that she wouldn't be able to offer me free service. I mean, I wouldn't think a newbie would be able to just give it to me for free without checking with her boss. And, in fact, after talking to her boss, she came back to tell me that I should sign up for the Verizon Broadband package because even if I move, I can just take it with me. Umm, sure, if that place offers Verizon. I'm not convinced that the entire country has Verizon phone service available to it. Anyway, finally, she realized that the best thing to do would to just give it to me free for another month and went ahead and did that. Phew. I was really worried there for a few minutes.
