does any one use AOL Broadband??? if so . . .

are you having connection speed problems???</p>

mine is extremely slow, and the speeds are just marginally higher than dialup, and to say i have a 2mb package i think that there is something wrong.</p>

is anyone else experiencing these problems, or can anyone help me solve the problem???</p>

 

try this

RE: Run a speed test and see how its performing

i did this last night</p>

Downstream was 46.7 Kbps</p>

Upstream was 88.7 Kbps</p>

this is marginally more than dialup (42Kpbs) i do beleive.</p>



its got to be my connection because it does the same whether im using my PC or Laptop.</p>

its AOL, theyre a joke!</p>

 

RE: try this

ok, i will give it a go tonight. think i might have tried it before as well though. cheers again.

 

Great stuff

Iam looking to up-grade to broadband. First hand experiences over the last two days:
Talk/Talk = utter *****.
AOL = little better than dial-up.

Any other ISP's I can eliminate?

 

RE: Call technical support

 i will need lots of luck with them call centres. Indian one is a nightmare, and the Irish one is even worse, and dont even get me started with the online help thing.</p>

i have got unlimited downloads per month (AO-Fooking-L Platinum) so i cant see that being the cause of my problems, however i will give netmeter a whirl though, so cheers for that. </p>

sooner i can get free sky broadband the better it will be for me </p>

 

RE: Great stuff

the thing with AOL is that its hit or miss.</p>

mine is utter ***** and would not recommend it to anyone, but a mate of mine who lives about a mile from me as had no problems at all with is, and he would recommend it  </p>

my view is stay well clear.</p>

 

Orange

Been with Orange for a few months now, and no probs. My Dad has been with Wanadoo (Old Orange) for nearly a year and he hasn't had any probs either, also great deals with Orange Mobiles and broadband at the moment.

 

RE: Great stuff

I have been using AOL Broadband for well over a year and it's absolutely fine, no problems whatsoever.

 

RE: Great stuff

Good luck getting rid of AOL , my brother just changed to Virgin from AOL and it took months before he could get rid of them. They are a complete and utter pain in the `arris.
We have Telewest blueyonder and have no gripes withn it at all now, well once they changed the modem anyway.ff

RE: been on pipex just over a year

Feckin Indian call centers,ignorant ******** the lot

why the hell do we pay over the odds for everything and have to put up with these goons when something goes wrong, every answer is like a script being spouted back after you've repeated your name and address 5 times so they can understand you.
