anyone on AOL???

I'm using AOL and can't complain.

I'm on the Broadband Silver 1MB Package for £9.99/month.
No download restrictions.


On average I download 80GB/month & up 2GB.

Just don't use their software. that's the trick.

Been on AOL for years and it's always worked and now at 8meg its very quick.

As Patrickuk said don't use their content or software and you should be OK.

I know there may be better providers but I've heard so many horror stories from other ISP's I'm gonna stick with the devil I know. (Plus I have heard it's almost impossible to cancel an AOL account)

As for the pictures for your aunt they should open automatically or if not save them to a folder or desk top as you would on most other ISP's.

BillyC,
If I put you forward for an AOL account I get £30 and we can share it and you will get a nice AOL account of your own.

No such package... the silver is £14.99/month, so maybe you were special.

Their support is terrible. It takes over an hour to talk to anyone about reporting a problem, and their Indian Call Centre monkeys want you to jump through all the little hoops to tick their boxes - it's a farce.

AOL also provides restrictions on the type of use of your internet connection. No port 25 for SMTP, it's blocked for all traffic. That's not an "unlimited" connection as far as I'm concerned!

Yes, the software is terrible, that's the biggest part, but there are other factors too.

deal was on for the last 2 months

£14.99 with a wireless router

or

£9.99/month without.

so no I'm not as special as you think.

at £9.99/month currently the best bang for the £.

say no more.

AOL bought by Carphone Warehouse


Time for me to jump ship

Its still crap! No matter who buys it!

Why dont you post the pictures on something like

www.photobucket.com and then send her the link?

Here... Billy while we are at it, do you know what else is crap?

Windows. Everyone uses it. And its the standard platform to release software under.


But... its all of the above, its pox ridden beyond belief.

Just because something is crap, doesnt mean people wont use it.
