Good for you for wanting to dump AOL.  I can recommend tezcat, particularly for a new user.
The relevant #'s are 850-0181( voice ) and 850-0112 ( data ) if you just want to post them 
your info. 

The thing I like about them thus far is they are very helpful and patient.  No long 
waits on hold when you need tech support and their hours are user friendly as 
well.  I have yet to encounter anyone there who is just too damn clever to 
be talking to a new user either,  unlike certain OTHER providers in town.

In all likelihood though you will have to shop around and may end up 
with a different ISP than you started with, very common but still 
better than being raped by aol.
