AOL Flat Rate Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  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. With the Version 7.0 of their program, the marketing boast is "Making ...  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. ...  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. ...  Read the complete review

Well - AOL has never had a good reputation. Amonst people in the know, it's always been steered well celar of. But, at 15.99 a month, I thought I'd try it. And, I haven't regretted it. You can still use internet explorer or netscape to surf the web, and all your other programs (e.g. MSN messenger) will still work. So it is as ...  Read the complete review

Well ok then, I'll agree with you. That's not the best deal you've ever seen in your life. But what about id I throw in 7 free email addresses, lots of online content and the perfect way of whiling the hours away when you should be working, studying or cooking tea? Interested? The thing that appeals most for me about AOL is ...  Read the complete review

I have been using the internet for about 7 years now, and have always avoided AOL because of it`s aweful reputation. One day I got drunk, got fed up of my old ISP always kicking me off after 2 hours and signed up with AOL. I am SO glad I did. I now pay £15 a month for unlimited use of the internet. There is no 2 hour kick-off, no limit ...  Read the complete review

I never intended or expected to stay with AOL, I was just using their offer of a free month's access whilst I searched for another provider. I was annoyed with Freeserve when they put their price up by a pound the instant my free trial was over, so I cancelled immediately and found myself in a bit of a fix. AOL were offering a free ...  Read the complete review

I will say from the start that I will not, like in other reviews everywhere try to distort the truth in honour of looking at both sides and I will not try saying AOL is good compared to other ISPs that ive never even had. I have had many ISPs, from NTL broadband to tesco.net flat rate, and AOL is the worst ISP ive ever set eyes on. Let me ...  Read the complete review

A house move just over 16 months ago forced me into looking for a new isp as my previous one could not offer me the serive at my new address. One big factor that I required was the ability to be able to use my laptop computer to access the internet using various phoneslines , some would be bt and others would be the local cable operator. ...  Read the complete review

Stressful computing in one easy step. AOL, I had so much hope for you but you have let me down like a unreliable beau. I find it very hard to connect with the Connie endorsed ISP at certain times of the day, it can take many goes before theres any joy, (35 attempts is the record I think) and then for how long connection will last is anyones ...  Read the complete review

Whether or not you would find AOL useful as an ISP (Internet Service Provider) depends entirely on what you want from the internet and your level of experience with computers in general, dial-up networking in particular and if you have experience of Internet Explorer and Outlook. Let me start by saying that I am fairly confident in ...  Read the complete review

I'm angry. Rather angry. You might think its nothing, but it is more than what is being shown. I got an e-mail today from the lovely people at AOL. They told me that AOL are raising their prices for the flat fee. It was bound to happen, internet advertising has been falling dramatically for over a year now, AOL have been through merger ...  Read the complete review

Finding a reliable ISP nowadays is rather a daunting task, you either find that you are never able to connect to them at peak times or that the lesser known ISP’s disappear without a trace. I have had several but the only one that I would recommend is AOL. AOL is very different to your average ISP, due to the fact ...  Read the complete review

I have previously dabbled with AOL about 4 times largely thanks to the HUNDREDS of CD's that they keep sending me (they want me back you know!) and the 5 or so that seem to leave a trail to the checkout whenever I purchase my Computer magazine. I consider myself quite an authority to speak about AOL and if your expecting a total slating.... ...  Read the complete review

Aol seem to be regarded as the best isp in the world yet I find that very hard to believe. As a subscriber to their flat rate scheme I pay £15 for basically access when I want it. However I think for service aol is one of the worst and in fact you are paying a couple of quid more for using aol then other isp's when other isp's are more reliable ...  Read the complete review

We recently signed up to AOL because it was time for a change. Freeserve, which was our usual ISP and whole net package was usually engaged and if we were lucky enough to get connected I could get booted off 10-20 minutes later, then have the same problem connecting. AOL caught our eye, as it offered 100 free hours as a trial. This is ...  Read the complete review

I used to be very happy with AOL but I am only able to put this on site today because I happen also to have NTLworld. I am writing this as a warning to those of you who use AOL. There seems to be a fundamental flaw in their security procedures. I have come across the same problem twice in three months and felt compelled to share it with ...  Read the complete review

AOL is the biggest ISP in the world, but is their status justified? Well, after several disaster stories with other ISP?s that won?t remain nameless if you carry on reading, I simply wanted a good quality ISP with free 24/7 access for one monthly fee. Now, the choice at the moment for 24/7 ISPs is pretty large ? AOL, Freeserve, BT, NTL, ...  Read the complete review
