highdowns hunter Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 just wondering if any of you are having problems with AOL being slow. It seems to be getting slower each week I have de-fragmented got rid of history and temp internet files My pc has lots of memory and is quite quick But AOl keeps crashing and takes about 3 to 4 mins to log on Could this be a ploy by AOL to get me to purchase their broad band system I wonder :evil: 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Had the very same thing happen last year with NTL. The phone connection slowed right down at the very same time as they were advertising their broadband service. They won though as I have now enjoyed broadband for 8 months or more and am happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 I'm on aol and i'm not that impressed to be honest,my biggest gripe is getting cut off for no apparent reasion and with no warning,this happens quite often,i think they do it to update your computers files as when you sign back on a little counter goes from 0 to100%.Usually it isnt a problem as i'm only on here talking to you lot anyway but it has happened at important times in the past,ie while i am in the middle of bidding on ebay in the last few moments of an auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 and guess what?...freeserve is EXACTLY the same, and yes, they're pushing broadband too! I'd get the BB and pay the £30 per month for it, but no way am I paying £80 connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 The NTL Cable B/Band cost £25 connection and £15 per month,so am well pleased after seeing some of the other charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 If you want to check your broadband connection speeds go to ADSLGuide.org and take the "speed test". Its very interesting, the fluctuations there can be in your connection speeds, throughout a day. I am currently downloading at 440kbps and uploading at 263kbps. A heck of a lot better than the old 56k modem, where I was lucky if I could download at 48kbps. Freeserve Broadband Rules OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
