Die, AOL scum!!

[amezri]

I had talked to THREE AOL & Time Warner reps asking if I could have AOL Broadband and use Internet seperately from the AOL program like I do now. They all said yes. So this morning I swtiched.

Christ on a bike.

I spent the last 2 hours first configuring AOL and then finding out that, no, I couldn't use Internet seperately from the AOL software and, in fact, after I got done with AOL Tech support, it still didn't work right. So, frell that. I called AOL to see about an E-mail Only plan ($2.95 a month) and ended up staying with the $24.94 BYOA account. To be fair, the woman was really nice and helpful and said that the person(s) I talked to didn't know what they were talking about. *snerk* With that fixed, I called Roadrunner to see about changing back. Which I did. And it was relatively painless. Except we still owe $44.95 for that and I didn't get some nice cushy offer for switching back. I'm sure I sounded completely manic and insane on the phone. If anything, at least I have our master e-mail account info now.

If my father doesn't use dial-up and both he and my brother just want AOL for the e-mail, then I am switcing the plan to the E-mail Only one because really, $24.95 is a ridiculous price for the amount of non-usage we have.

I still have to install the new USB card in my machine, but I think I'm gonna go eat lunch first and see if my brother has software for it.

broadband is crap. you have to be logged onto aol in order to be connected to the internet.

I have optimum online through my cable company and then use AOL through the cable modem.
