AOL, The worst ISP ever?

[TetlyTea]

AOL, gotta be the worst ISP ever?!

I download a fair bit, nout to major....

And then about 3-4 weeks ago i started to get limited in peak hours down to 50kb/s instead of 700 kb/s, and now they have took it TO FAR i tell ya, limiting me to 25 kb/s around the clock, Live Help Totally suck and i got 2 months left on the contract.

And yet, they havent touched my upload speed, thank god.

Dont go with AOL if you download large amounts.

They say unlimited, yet download over 60GB and you go onto the FUP.

I thought you were going to complain about their software.

Roadrunner, ftw. Plug it in and GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TetlyTea]

Lol no i got rid of there software as soon as i got it

Use the ppoe (what ever it called) method.

Well, nothing is for free, up to now you probably got far more than you paid for when compared to what other ISPs charge, so it's a bit late to start complaining now.

Bite the bullet and switch ISPs. I don't know where you are based, but if they are anything like the UK arm it will probably take so long to switch you will be well into the last month of the contract.

[TetlyTea]

Yeah im in the uk, and im just gonna wait for the contract to expire then bang, im leaving them lol

Funny. America Online (AOL) offered in the U.K.

That's business. :-\

when i use the aol browser its like going back in time to when i first got dial up

i can't stand AOL.

[will.atkins]

I'd disagree i've been bittorrenting for ages huge up and downloads with aol. I don't use their browser cos i think it's pretty bad but the service and speed is good.

LOL AOL scams so many people with their DSL and highspeed package which is basically what u pa for cable. Also they are probably the worst isp for dialup in service and price.

I was telling people AOL were crap 10 years ago

I can't believe they're still going, tbh.
