Trying to do anything on AOL is generally a problem. I didn't know anyone still used it?

ANYTHING, to do with AOL is a problem. Tell him/her to dump it immediately. Hope this helps :sorted:.

AOL IMHO are incompetent, unreliable and dis-honest. When I cancelled my contract with them they waited 3 months and then started taking direct debits again then refused to refund the money. I then had massive problems with talktalk. I then moved to Pipex who have generally been okay. You can guess how annoyed I am that having been taken over by AOL, Talktalk have now taken over Pipex. I shall be moving ASAP. Anyone recommend a GOOD provider?

Do you have Sky TV? Their broadband is, in my experience, the most reliable on the planet and if you have TV it is heavily subsidised and very cheap. I had six years of it without any problem. Even a move of address was a doddle and free of charge.

I would have recommended Virgin Media but.......... I changed to Virgin Media a while back. GPGer RT works for them and was offering 'Mates Rates' to fellow Bees a while ago which is just a bit more than half price. Not sure if he's still doing it, but it's worth a PM of you're feeling lucky. I pay about £38 a month for XL TV, XL Broadband and XL Phone. It works out about a tenner a month less than I was paying when I was with Sky because I no longer need a BT line which I hated paying for because I never used it, other than for broadband. Also, I get more than I was getting with Sky.

What I will say about Virgin is, that it is great when it is working. The fibre-optic broadband is second to none in my experience. Customer service is very good - but this is the problem. They're very good, because they get plenty of practice. Expect to be on first name terms with several engineers within a month. Reliability is awful and an engineer (Tony :rolleyes:) told me why. The guys that do the installs are contractors - they don't work for Virgin and as long as they get you up and running, they get their dosh and they don't give a f***. Now. As it happens, the cable connection box for our street is full. Every time someone in our road orders a Virgin Media install, the contractors simply whip out someone else's cable to get their client up and running. Wonderful eh? :banghead: Perhaps I've just been unlucky, but I've won this lottery three times since July :shrug:.

If you have a connection box in your street that has plenty of room, you might be fine. But it's a bit of a joke to be honest and if it happens again I think I would be well within my rights to ask them to cancel the contract. Sorry RT :shrug:. But I still appreciate your genuine help in getting me fixed up :kiss:.
