    My local phone exchange currently has 0 ports free for ADSL, and 384 ports awaiting the ADSL upgrade.

    So me and 383 other people in my area are stuck with crappy dialup until Telstra gets off thier ass.
    Thanks.

    Sucks to hear your stuck with dial-up,

    I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to dial-up.

    You could have always sang Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" down the line

    But to be the bearer of bad (but expected news, but AOL have been like this for a bit. This popped up again on one of the blogs I read - Can't teach an old dog...

    Still, the follow-up was great to read

    Cancel the direct debit as well.

    Then even if they don't stop the service they can't get your money anyway.

    They will switch it off soon enough.

    ok ok ok, you can tell them that you download porn movies all the time and you hate waiting days for a good wank. That'll scare them off, but don't laugh or else they'll hang up on you or something! (seriously, try this, I would if I had no choice but AOL)

    I tried AOL about 5 years ago on one of those free trial discs. After using it for 10 minutes, I got pissed off with the shitty dial up times and phoned to cancel.

    I took me about 15 minutes to cancel my account and in the end I resorted to the childish tactic of repeating "Can I cancel my account?" to everything the AOL operator said to me.

    How about we give you another 90 minutes for free?
    Can I cancel my account?
    Yes you can but why not give it another try, it'll cost you absolutly nothing?
    Can I cancel my account?
    You say you've had problems connecting, have you tried our support department for technical advice?
    Can I cancel my account?
    OK can I make a note of why you've cancelled your account?
    Can I cancel my account?
    Yes sir but I will need to put down a reason.
    I've already given you a reason at the start of the call. Can I cancel my account?
    OK, could you please refresh my memory?
    Can you cancel my account?
    It was so funny to hear the operator getting more and more annoyed as I went on.

    It's time to get over that being nice. Those sales people use the fact that people are nice to their advantage. I hope you realize that they are being rude to you by not doing what you request.

    These sales people are well trained in the art of blagging people.It`s funny when you can hear them taping a way at the keyboard your details while trying to sell a load of other shite at the same time.

    /edit sometimes you just have to be firm with them RTJ.You won`t have been the first person to do it to them.
