SR posters,

Actually AOL stands for Aload of ludicrousness (thats the best i can come up with)

I've been a AOL customer for ages now, and i just recently got AOL
Broadband. I was the happiest guy alive when AOL broadband arrived, and i had 2 months of happy
fast surfing.

3 weeks ago, AOL started to disconnect, so i decided to ring their useless helpline.
After 2 hours of tweaking settings on my computer - they decided that my modem was faulty.
"your new modem will be with you in 5 days"

7 days later, i got my new modem. Eagar to try it, i plugged the black little box in.
5 minutes later, it disconnected me again. Back onto AOL help, where i had to explain my problem all over
again---

Insisting that it was my computer at fault i formatted my machine. Now its just a blank canvas,
with AOL & antivirus. But still my problem persists. AOL help are running out of things to say
at this moment in time.

"it must be your internal house wiring" sorry AOL, we tested for this, and its defiantly ok.

3 weeks they've messed me about, and still no answer - 3 weeks @ a pound a day = 21 pound down the drain.

Gave them a rollicking the other day, so they've put me on 56k for FREE for the time being.
But its not free when i'm still paying for broadband is it? i've still got a whopping 8
months on my contract, if i could turn back time, AOL wouldn't have my custom now.

Thanks for reading,
An unhappy AOL customer.

[I] This was written, and then corrected by AOL's spell checker. That spell checker regards AOL as a missspelt word of "ALL", what does that tell you, eh?

One of my lecturers uses AOL, and one of there requirements of his module is to email our final year project proposals to him. Do you think they ever get there? No, of course not, they just keep getting returned. I've never heard of anyone being happy with the AOL service.

Well, i'm not suprised. They have there priorities all wrong. They don't care about 1 customer, because they have millions. 1 customer never made a difference, and that's the attitude they seem to take.

Never said anything was wrong with it, just that everyone follows it because they stick with the crowd.
