America Online Tops 32 Million Subscribers

AOL Time Warner Inc. said subscribers to its America Online Internet service, the world’s biggest, now top 32 million after the company upgraded the software and added a million customers in about 11 weeks.

America Online introduced the new version of the service last month that added features for subscribers who access the Web at high speeds. Customers have downloaded the new software 7million times, a “record adoption rate,” the company said.

America Online is trying to cater to consumers with fast Internet connections.
