AOL- Latest pop-up

renegade

The latest pop-up from AOL is ,I need to update my B.Band or risk being disconnected?
I dont have B.Band but unless I send for and install their new disc I will be cut off?
Can they do this? There is no mention of charges or contracts.
I have just gone back to BT because I want to get B.Band connection,just checking out with you guys what the best deals are , I am still totally confused, so many options, I am thinking of going with BT B.Band you all say they are not the best but they seem to be doing a good deal @ 20. 48 with unlimited calls 24/7 and B.Band, I need something reliable not hit and miss.It would be ADSL 2gb is the only thing in my area.
Views and comments please, thanks to all who reply.
Anyone have a number for AOL in case I need to ask for Mac number?

renegade, you are contradicting yourself, do you have broadband or not?
If it's dial-up that you have, and not broadband, you will not need a mac code from AOL

AOL customer service is 0844 499 5555.

If you can get free calls using a geographical number then the alternative to the above is 0117 919 1100 .

Del, As I said I dont have B.Band but am looking for the best suppliers to go with.Thank you for your reply, I dont need a Mac code but how much notice do I need to give AOL before going to B.Band supplier of my choice?

None, since you don't have broadband with AOL.

Thanks Jammin, Im confusing myself here, I am thinking of changing my ISP at the same time of getting B Band, will I need a Mac code then?

you have dialup, so you do not need a MAC ... just choose a broadband provider, and once broadband is active on your line, cancel the dialup service
