Re: AOL's latest dirty trick?

Well, I thought things were looking up when AOL got rid of my peak
time speed cap (which they originally imposed without telling me and
denied it when I asked about it).

They appear to have abandoned capping altogether except on Sundays.

However, it now seems when I've been downloading for a while, they
break the connection. Unfortunately, it also applies to uploading.
I've been trying all day to upload a file to my Youtube account and
its only 19MB.

The disconnections appear to be random and not connected with any activity
on the user's part. They are definitely more frequent than they used to be.

Can't believe I'm paying £30 a month for this rubbish.

Neither can I? I'm only being billed £14.99 for a 8 Meg connection despite
never having asked for a reduction. In some areas it's only £9.99 for the
same service.

Anyone else had issues, or can recommend a decent ISP?

A new network, software download is supposed to fix these issues but there's
no sign of it as yet.
