AOL runing VERY slow?

Hey guys, i have dial-up, my lines are too 'new' for DSL, damn fiber optic, anyway, aol has been rinning from 1.7 to 23KBPS latley, well, for the past month or so.. my system is running perfect, and i use 20% of my cpu MAX... does anybody else think aol has something to do with this splurg of slowness? possibly a force to DSL? hmm...

› See More: AOL runing VERY slow?

Currnet rate: 5.24KBPS
CPU usage: 21% (downloading DOTNETFX.exe)

AOL says: try a different number, did that, same results

Get a real ISP and drop the Kiddy AOL....

Too new for dsl.... LOL

You're complaining about 5.24KBPS download speeds on dial up? Thats prob nearly tippin max spead on dial up! :s
And tell me, was everyone at AOL dropped on their heads as babies, Fibre optics not suitable for broadband??! , Fibre optics is the best choice for broadband, coz it can theoretically provide nearly unlimited bandwidth potential!
Id move away from AOL for actually saying such a stupid thing! Never like AOL anyway, they butcher your connection.

no, i used to get 45KBPS download speed. The Fiber Optic support is NOT currently availbe from:

Sprint
Verizon
Optimum
AOL
SBC Yahoo

ill get thoes aolpeople for getting my connection yet! hahahahahahah

there are Better dial up providers than AOL trust me DUMP EM

what do you guys sugguest to use?

Any good local companys? What phone service are you one? On the dial-up here im using eircom, my actual phone service and im very happy with them, good speeds, and dirt cheap aswell!

My phone company is Sprint, but they only offer DSL, i have Fiber Optic lines, and none of the local DSL carriers provide Fiber Optic Line Support

its $25 a month for time/wnr cable and aol is free where i'm so i dont think they're doin anything fishy

Dug up a DEAD post, lmao... After complaining enough, I'm down to $9.95 a month for AOL. Time warner is not in my area, and Comcast want's almost $50 for "YOUR OWN IP ADDRESS" . Download speeds are still SLOW and DSL? Not in my area still.

Just wait for it

hahaha yea i was just browsing being a newbie an all i notice AO-HELL so i had to post a reply. they were suppose to e-mail me when high speed was available in my area but they never did. i found out by accident when i called them on an unrelated issue. but $9.95 isnt too bad for dial up. the last i heard were they were going to make it free i wonder how thats working out.
