i couldn't get online until 7:30 tonight ... =(

[shifter]

sorry to hear that, and yes aol does suck ass. how long did it take for u to get aol back. unfortunately, i still i have it, and not sure what to switch to(thinking earthlink).

[flueggy]

now you know how i feel

[Shattered_weasel]

here is a sledge hammer.....vent your anger.

[NKOTB]

It sounds like they are trying to blame you for their problems. Yeah, I'd be pissed too. I'd write back and tell them to kiss my ass actually.

[polishedweasel]

AOL has always sucked gigantic whale testicles. Thus, why I don't have it.

[Firocket1690]

Well, well, well ...

For some strange disturbing reason, my mother loves Aol. She happens to likes having one computer online at a time.
She likes having to pay for another phone line, 29.99 to Aol, and get crappy dial-up internet connection that randomly disconnects.

Exactly what's wrong with paying 19.95 for cable? I, on the other hand happen to like a fast internet connection. Always being online means that old phag doesn't say 'Welcome!' or 'goodbye' every time the damn thing disconnects ... Oh, and did I mention that it doesn't disconnect ?!

Parents are weird ... =(

[polishedweasel]

Becuase AOL is like this.

"Hi! Can I kiss your ass today? Here's a button for everything that you need, and for some things that you don't need.

Would you like some spam protection? Do you even know what spam is? Oh, it's ok, we'll charge you 15.99 for spam proofing. Of course it's top of the line

What? You keep disconnecting, here let me connect you to Barney the purple dinosaur for tech support, he'll candy coat everythint for you so you don't feel like the ignorant jack ass you are."


*signs off*

"Goodbye"

Did I sum it up guys?

[Guile]

Yeah AOL sucks so much penis it's not funny.

For once, a post by you that I agree with. That also had me rotf.



Btw- Comcast is worse.

[AquaFlare7]

coming from the inside here. I work at an AOL customer support center and I will agree with everyone here. AOL is horrible to the nth degree and beyond, however the paychecks for working there are too good to pass up http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[PhoenixOfHate]

You mean AOHELL! I would tell you every reason AOL sucks, but I would be here forver. They charge you a ton of money and a pint of virgin blood for the crappiest 56k service on the planet (as if 56k weren't crappy enough).

Some random AOL fanboy: BUT NESS, AOL HAS BROADBAND SO THEY ARE STILL COOL!!!

AOL doesn't even run it. They had some third party company do it and slapped AOl's name on it. AOL is also the reason some many idiots are on the internet (I'm not saying that all people who use AOL are idiots). The internet was made to be somewhat challeging for a reason. AOL destroyed the internet's last line of defense against idiots.

[Bradicus]

AOL http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif
NET fucking ZERO

AOL - Age Of Lag

Heh, yeh I got it... AOL Broadband, here in the UK they have decided to team up with BT... which may mean PSO working with AOL which will be nice, just have to wait and see...

[Shattered_weasel]

But AOL is the greatest thing on the computer. It lets me have all these parental controls and stuff so my kids don't look at them bad sites......././,..//,....',.;';.,'.,';.',.'l';,.'/,';.';,'.,'/.,.],][.,';],][,.][/,;]';,;,][/,;'[,.][/;'/,]'/;

since when did this happen? why would BT lower themselves to the level that AOL somehow managed to sink to? this is all terribly confusing, seeing, last time i checked, BT has joined up with Yahoo.
AOL are just the appitamy of bad service. im not quite sure how people like them. and their advertising campaign sucks severe donkey scrotum. If i see connie in the street ill shoot her. or anyother person who appeard in their god awful ads. even if they were just actors payed to do it. its a matter of principle.
meh, i feel my rage is wasted on my friends arms more than people i dont like.

Apologies for the accidental bump, but I just found the ltter that my mother had apparantly read, and filled out ...

[Omni-SqwirL]

I was accused of the same thing, spreadin the Trojan Horse around. Yeah, AOL sucks majorly. The Spam thingy doesn't work one bit for me anyways...

[Kizaragu]

Comcast is worse eh?

Not really. I have Comcast in Michigan, and my connection is fast as hell, and I never have a problem.

Maybe its your area http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

About AOL. Yeah, it sucks. Back in the day, when my old dial up ISP died, my dad trid AOL. After one hour, he got on the phone and cancelled. Then we got Juno...boy, not much of an improvment...

Thank god that October we got Cable Internet.
