To share an Internet connection you need to change ISP's to anything else.
The reason you can NOT share an AOL internet connection is because,
first they use a proprietary protocol & second the agreement you agreed
to says you can only have one device connected to AOL at any given time.
You can find a list of ISP's at
http://www.dslreports.com plus they will
rate them for you too.
