urgh so annoying. As soon as o2 broadband is available in my area I am going to get it.

[Robbie]

I was speaking to a friend about this the other day and hes been having the same problems so he is also moving to o2!

[Flisker]

AOL are really going to loose loads of clients, but i suppose they dont give a **** because there crap service.

[Robbie]

Loads of 'PC Noobs' (lol) will join AOL though 'cos of the free laptop thing.

[Flisker]

Well i joined them in '03 - '04

[Adam$]

I've also noticed this.. someone I know rang up, complained and said they were moving ISPs, they said they would give him a free laptop if he stayed another 2 years.

[Pyroka]

Uhm... In response to the thread TITLE, don't you mean "ALWAYS???" Honestly, AOL couldn't give two craps. Instead, they'll invest their money into Bebo and call it AOL Networking. That'll kill that one off for sure.

[24]

The connection has been crap because they are migrating to the CPW servers. Just annoying that they cant give an estimate of when this will be completed.
Also if you signed up for the free laptop deal, you could still get out of it based upon the fact that AOL/CPW arnt proivding the service they promised you in the deal. - But then thats a whole other thread about unfair terms and conditions in consumer contracts etc.

[samsaBEAR]

i havent noticed the speed changes in my aol
i thought i had a problem with aol throttling my bittorrent connection, but it turns out that if i download anything from a pirate bay tracker it goes really slow

[Flisker]

I would phone them up today but i just cba to argue with them

[DarrenToogood]

I have not even bothered to read this thread, or even the first post, but I saw the title and here is my answer :P

1. Why did you go with them in the first place?
2. They are always crap

xD!

[LOLROB]

why is my upload speed ALWAYS at 300kb/s

[Robbie]

That may be your plans limit.

[samsaBEAR]

aol has call centres in the uk. whenever we've needed help we've always spoken to an english person.

[Flisker]

oh right.. plus my plan is unlimited

this is mine
thats fairly good for me, i usually have about 200kbps upload

[iUnknown]

Aol crap lately? Always been for me. They're always the one ISP who has a problem with the specific thing I'm trying to do. It's quite funny, I had problems with my router and they have an exact help article on their help desk for the exact brand and series name of my router. I might just be unlucky but I hear bad things anyway.

This is the best I've seen my connection in ages:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/251826015.png

On the BT check, my line is valid for 8 MBPs connection (haven't tested for higher), so thats a bit rubbish. I'm moving to BT when I move back to my house (moved out as it was pretty much knocked down and rebuilt/redone).

if you was on the £19.99 package, you've been upgraded to a new £9.99 package, 8mbps, but you now have a download limit of 10gb per month, if you exceed it you get your speed capped.

[Flisker]

omg... I don't think ive been capped...

I've had AOL for a few years now and have had very little trouble with them. Only problem with AOL is if you need help, because of the Indian Call Centres(which i always seem to get).
And i dont know if half of you havent read the whole thread or somert but your going to probably experience some downtime and slow speeds because they are migrating to the CPW servers. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[@xP]

My AOL is poor. It always seems to go off for no reason.
There support is pretty poor with the foreigners and you cant understand what they are trying to tell you.

We only ring AOL after the internet has been down for more than 2 days.
When AOL goes down for me for a week and its a error on there side, they never give us discount.

But meh, we get it cheap because we said we were leaving them and they offered us cheap internet to make us stay.

After our contract is over, we're moving.

call me old fashioned, but surely when you get cheap internet it means you are getting a discout?
+we do that so many times, mainly when they introduce free stuff for new customers on the package we're on. we tell them we're thinking of leaving and then they give us free stuff, like a wireless router

[Independent]

I'm supposed to be guaranteed a 5.5mbps line (My area only supports that speed) and I only get 2mbps.

[Technologic]

It's all to do with AOl switching their UK servers over to opal telecom

AOL has been crap since its creation.

Paying for AOL is like squatting down in front of the devil and admitting that your life has been a complete failure.
