Erols joins US Internet, a Minnesota-based ISP that launched an "888-Leave-AOL" program for customers interested in switching from AOL, and EarthLink Network, which started a campaign called "Get out of AOL for free." As the nation's largest access provider with more than 11 million members, AOL often is a target for marketing campaigns by its competition. Those campaigns have not had a noticeable effect on the company's growth, however, and Wall Street has rewarded news of the rate hike and company layoffs by driving AOL stock to record highs. On February 9, AOL announced plans to raise its fee for unlimited Net access by 10 percent to $21.95 per month from $19.95 per month, the standard price most ISPs charge. The increase is effective with the April billing cycle. Many ISPs and online services, including Prodigy, said they have no immediate plans to match the hike.
