Binned AOL...Went Sky...and.....!

Its fantastic.
At 9pm during the week on AOL i was getting 512mb (supposed to be 8mb and was 6.5mb before Car Phone Warehouse took over).

At 9pm tonight i was hitting 13.9mb with Sky.

AOL = £24.99p/m
SKY = £10p/m

When AOL say they arent 'group throttling' connections they are lying through their teeth and should be strung up for it.

The only thing that needs throttling are the Technical support that are prepared to lie and scam people that are paying good money for a rubbish service.

I heard bad stories about them ALL with no exceptions.
Thats a very general comment you have made.

512mb? No wonder AOL's network is lagging these days

I have just spoken to AOL again and they have 'let me off' any outstanding charges.
Not that there was any anyway as far as im concerened. They seemed to think there was 6 months left on my contract even though i had Platinum for just over 2 years.

If you are on Platinum, and check your d/l speed after 6pm, i will be astonished if almost everyone is getting anything quicker than 0.7mb.

Check it out

Hi Blitzen, I think that you have 'scored there' . I could see 'sky' throwing money at their service to capture the 'customer base' .

I agree....they are doing very well at taking a big UK market share.
If they are doing it for that price (or free in some cases) then they deserve it.

I thought about changing from Virgin Media to adsl something or other... but i can only get 1 - 1.5 Mbps in my area.. im in like a adsl black fecking hole... even adsl max was slow and all the other versions... although ntl goes at a lovely speed

I have Sky Broadband, the actual product has been great, the customer service people are morons.
