Not saying it's a good deal as I haven't had time to look in to it but AOL are offering a free laptop if you sign up to them for 2 years;

Better spec laptop and better broadband package for an extra £5 per month.

I'm on Wireless broadband from AOL and haven't had a problem with them. I know not everyones experience with AOL has been as stress free

Wow! What a deal, wish i hadn't signed up to BT Total Broadband a month ago now...

I have been an AOL user for 18 months and I think they've been great. No disconnection problems, always reply to my emails and never take more than they should from my bank! Also I like the parentla control software built in to their user software - it always works. I have applied for this even thopugh I bought a laptop 6 months ago.

Sounds like a good deal, but if you download a lot of stuff the 40gigs a month allowance may not be enough.

If I hadn't just signed to a new 12 contract a few months ago so would I.

One thing to check Mike is the price plan they have you on. I was paying £17.99 for silver for nearly a year even thought the price had dropped.

40gigs is better than my 8gigs with BT...

It beats the heck out of the 2gb with the other offer. 40gb should be ok for everything but video downloads

Proabably being dim, but where does it give this other option?
