I love reading about AOL's troubles.

Ok, if you chose AOL for broad band because it is the only choice then we will feel your pain. If you have other options and you still choose AOL then the members if DSLR will tar and feather you

trust me i cant wait to leave aol. and i know a cple of ppl on dslr that have no choice either. just bothers me to read people putting down other people becuase they are on aol. i mean lets face it for your average person aol is nice and easy.
i already bought my motorola surfboard sb4100 and have it all set up to cable. Just waiting for OOL to finally wire my neighborhood so it can sync. It sucks just watching it blink and blink and blink

AOL DSL SUCKS

In all fairness, if AOL broad band used stable software, and was reliable service, I would recommend it some people I know, like my mom, because it does set up the internet so it's easy to use.

anyone with any technical knowledge would know that AOL isn't their only choice. there are a TON of ISPs out there, and many with more rural access than AOL if that's the issue. AOL is not really an ISP, they provide software which is an interface to a connection they don't provide, but pay someone else to.
if your only broadband choice is AOL cable, you're actually wrong . . . since earthlink was in business w/ time warner before the time warner/aol merge, they have a "right of first refusal" when time warner rolls out service somewhere (meaning earthlink gets first bid on it over aol). they snatch it up. *then* aol can roll out service in the same area. so, everywhere aol/time warner cable internet is, there's earthlink, just a step ahead.

i dont have aol cable, i have aol dsl(as it clearly says in my post). when i say i have no other choice its because verizon is the actual dsl carrier in my area and verizon itself sucks. i started with aol many years ago (like almost everyone i know) and havent switched since OOL was supposed to be in my neighborhood over a year ago. i see no reason to get another isp in the meantime since ill only have to cancel them as well. your talking about time/warner which is not my cable provider(thank god cablevision is, cple blocks away ppl dont have OOL as a choice only roadrunner).

but this is exactly what i mean, why start out with "anyone with any technical knowledge would know that AOL isn't their only choice" dont you think i have investigated this? anyone with any tech knowledge would know that if OOL services my neighborhood than obviously time warner cant.

I don't mind you bashing on aol, but how come you have to say AOHell every single time? You sound like a retarded 11 year old. I bet you think that's really clever and funny.

It is funny. Everyone here does it. I've seen hundreds of people say AOHELL. And frankly, I don't think it's that far from the truth

Actually, she's right about the whole "so, everywhere aol/time warner cable internet is, there's earthlink, just a step ahead." thing.

You want even more funny stuff? Go to www.observers.net.
Bunch of ex-community leaders that interview ex-employees and educate the newbie many to the errs of the company. Great dish and the interviews are great.

The article about how AOL moved their Tech Live support to the Phillipines was great. Tell me a better place to work than one where the employer picks me up in my village , gives me a ride in the old govt jeeps left behind, gives me 2 meals a day in the AOL Cafeteria, and pays me a cool dollar a day. Life is grand at the old Clark AirForce Base.

AoHell is also one of the many different "progz" that scripters liked to use.. punters, bombers, etc, that one AOL user could assault another with. That was fun.
