AOL Flat Rate

I haven't been on the internet for that long, but have used friends computers and always wanted one for myself. I believe that the internet is the way forward in communication for the future. So when I got the chance to buy a computer about two years ago I jumped at it. After setting it up at home the next thing was to get connected to the internet, this is what had the facination for me getting connected to the world. I first got a disc sent through the post with all the other junk mail that usually ends up in the bin, but this disc was for Aol 5.0 and gave me 30 hours of free internet use as a trial run. I could ring them and cancel after the ...  Read the complete review

I used AOL Flat Rate for nearly 2 years, and all i can say is that it gives you what you want... Unlimited Access to the Internet for a one of monthly payment. They never shouted at me for over use, i friend of mine stayed connected nearly all the time. Theres plently of access numbers for BT customers and even if your not with BT other telecom customers can use AOL too. Right, heres the so good stuff :( Don't use AOL Email, turn it off via the control panel unless you want SPAM SPAM SPAM. Don't make a AOL public profile because you will get loads of junk instant messages. The software which you have to use can become a pain ...  Read the complete review

AOL- America Online - is one of the globe's better known Internet Service Prroviders, and they revel in trying to establish themselves as the choice for customer service, with that TV advertising campaign featuring Connie trying to entice you into making a commitment.

They're clearly a bit keen on grabbing you and convincing you their offering is best. I succumbed quite ...  Read the complete review

When trying to find a new ISP for my computer, I was literally inundated with different free CDs, downloads and offers from many different companies. However, it was Connie and the adverts that persuaded me to give AOL a go. After all, they are one of the biggest suppliers worldwide and must offer a great service to be so popular. When the 4th CD this year plopped onto the mat at home I decided to install it. Installation of the CD and instructions took about 10 minutes. There is then a small form to fill in depending on which version of software you wish to adopt and the relevant package you opt for. I took the monthly option but not until I ...  Read the complete review

Ive had AOL flat rate for about nearly 2 years now and to tell the truth its pretty average. It may be the biggest service provider in the world but it sures hell dosnt seem like it. SERVICE Its good. AOL have a free telephone number which you can ring for help. Any other information needed you can find on the internet. Setting up and installing takes quite a while but its relatively good. INTERNET I use a 56k modem and when i usually sign on i get between 40-46k. Its ok but i expected a bit more. The e-mail feature is extremely good. Whenever you sign on you automatically open your e-mail acoount, you can even writ e-mails ...  Read the complete review
