Read this on a forum re AOL

"If you are an existing customer and you phone up to request a MAC, say you wish to switch ISP, they will start to offer you various incentives to keep you with them, one of the offers they offer you is the platinum service for £9.99 but I think you also have to sign another 12 months contract."


So I rang AOL yesterday asked for MAC code they asked why I said having problems with the usb modem so going to Sky as they are cheaper and will give me a free modem, they said we will match Sky's price and send a new modem. told my mate he did the same tonight and they offered the same deal.

Was paying £29.99 :S now £9.99 and getting new Netgear modem, cheers

What do you want a modem for, buy a router and get a decent ISP.

I agree but been with them for years dont use their software now, I get quite good speed 6 > 7 meg, connection has been reliable, no dowload limits + saving £20 every month so will stick with it.
