If you're one of the millions of Americans who once dialed up to the Internet through a service like AOL or MSN, you may have gotten attached to all the extra content—the software, games, music, and chat rooms—that was just a click away from the tidy portal your service provided. So when you switched to a broadband ISP, it was like the Wild West. The possibilities seemed endless, but you had to go out and actually track down all that newly accessible content. Well, you needn't give it all up.
Both America Online and Microsoft now offer broadband versions of their online services, and a similar service is available from Yahoo!. These services give you all the premium content you've come to expect from such online services, plus scads of additional audio, video, games, and other material that's best enjoyed over broadband.
