Yup. I don't deal with AOL very often. Those I know that use it like it. Not that I can figure out why. :rolleyes:

Oh, it gets pretty bad. “We speed up browsing!”.. yeah, buy compressing everything with their own proprietary software. And if a site uses already compressed graphics AOL will cause them to look REALLY bad or have lines thought them.
I used to have AOL WAY back… when there was not much of a choice. And all the complaints myself and others had were ignored. AOL’s public answer was that they didn’t receive the complaints so the problems must not exist. Well….. when you call them up and are on hold for over 45 minutes most people tend to HANG UP. No kidding they didn’t get the complaints. :rolleyes:
AOL also used to (I don’t know if they still do) block competitors sites and sites associated with their competitors from being able to be accesses while using their service. The list of AOL problems is so long that it is best to just say they HAVE them. LOL
And AOL users are some of the most clueless people on earth (not all, but I think we know the ones I am talking about). And believe it or not a good many of them think when using AOL’s network they are actually using the “Internet”. Yes, they use the internet to access the AOL Network, but then they STAY there (except for the occasional site surfing).
I tell folks that if they have NO other way to access the internet, go ahead and use AOL. But ONLY use it as a way to gain access to the internet. Stay away from their e-mail, network, or anything else they offer (besides AIM). But actively look for a better ISP.
Sorry….. I need some coffee… and AOL is a touchy subject for me. ;)

I was trying to diagnose a problem with AOL back in the Windows 3.1 days. I called AOL and the person on the phone had NO idea what they were talking about. When I called them on it they hung up on me! Never did get it fixed. :(
