During the summer of 2025, AOL announced that they would be discontinuing the AOL dial-up service on September 30, 2025. “AOL routinely evaluates its products and services and has decided to discontinue Dial-up Internet,” AOL noted in a support article on their site. While AOL’s email and website will continue to function, subscribers connecting to AOL via a phone modem will need to find another way to get online.
