AOL users

Anyone else having treacle-like connections over the last couple of days? I have spoken to them and they say it is a migration issue to a new server.
Just want to make sure others are having same problems.

Yes the same here. Connections have been awful for at least a couple of weeks.
Someone suggested closing down the AOL software on the BF forum and that seemed better for me.

I'm happy to say everything back to working order. You would not believe what AOL India had me do to my laptop.

Not until 2hrs into my phone call did they tell me they had got 'thousands' of calls with my problem, in which time they made me rest my Netgear router three times and now make it only possible to make my wireless connection work via the Run menu and services.msc.

If I had not held my ground for over an hour, repeatedly telling the operative that she was at fault, the stupid lady from AOL wanted me to contact the people who made my laptop to sort out the problem. I had to shout down the phone for what seemed a thousand times 'THAT IT WAS THEIR FAULT ! '.

Funnily enough, she was wrong and I was right, I wasted a big phone bill and my time, and the only way to use the wireless is via my Run menu.
