I finnally got 9.99 pounds offer with free router.

, speed is not bad. The maximum I can get is 130 kB/s.

Good choice.:T

At last my fella finally contacted AOL to see if he could get me the router for free, after much discussion he manged to get me at last a router. Also a bonus for him they upgraded him to Platinum for the same price he is paying now for gold..So we will wait and see if we have any probs with the upgrade etc

carpy

is the £9.99 offer only available on a 12 month contract?

If I were you I'd get on the phone to AOL pronto, you should be getting 1MB. (1000 KB/S)

Don't think that you understand how many bits are in a byte!

Ok, just checked and it is 1024 not 1000! I wasn't that far off was I?

I think what Espresso means is you're confusing bits with bytes.

Marquis said he was getting 130kB/s. The upper-case B means bytes. So on a 1Mb/s (bits) connection, 130kB/s is the best you can expect.

Marquis which number did you ring to get the £9.99 deal, and did you have to quote any promo code etc? Thanks.
