Considering AOL as Broadband ISP

Hi, I still have dial-up at home, which suffices for reading e-mail (I must have e-mail access 24/7 due to work) and the odd emergency at the weekend, otherwise I do everything in the office and get no hassles with that.

Anyway, I thought it was time to upgrade at home, and have been comparing BB & Phone bundles: Talk Talk seems the cheapest and Tiscali looks okay too, both these ISPs seem to get so much bad crit on various forums I am hesitant (as I said above having no connection would be a big problem).

Therefore, I have almost decided on AOL Flexi Broadband, 14.99/month including free UK landline calls, 10GB limit and free wireless router, and I am looking for any feedback?

Also, for 29.99 connection, I can avoid tying myself into a 12 month contract?

Any help/advice welcome.

Looks like a great deal for you

Only if you read & send emails, because of the 10GB download limit, if you do more than email, then you may want to change it so you have unlimited, but if you dont i wouold do this deal

Also, for 29.99 connection, I can avoid tying myself into a 12 month contract?
Might be a good idea just incase your not happy with AOL, so you can change

I would advise that you look more closely at O2 or Be-internet. These two are rated at the top (above AOL) on the best providers at this time. Also you will find that customer support with AOL is rather abismal and will mean you spend long periods on the phone getting any answers (if you can trust them).

Very True, Word To Word, My First ISP Was AOL, On Dial Up, I Cant Even Remember What They Where Like, Cant Remember Having A Problem, Probs Be Because All You Do Was Plug The Phone Line In Back Of Your Pc, And Dial The Number, Lool
