I have been on aol for 5 years. i called the cancellation number and tried to get aol platnium for £9.99 but the rep said that i have to take the free 12 month talk pakage which i did not want.

Therefore i got aol siver for £9.99 and i said can you please give me a free router (i already have a aol router, but thought i can give it to a family memeber) the rep said he cannot do that instaed he gave me one month free worth £9.99.:T :T :T :T

Thank you very much to the person who started this thred:T :T

i rang AOL for a mac code last night as i was about to switch to sky, they were quite happy to do this then after seeing i was paying £29.99 a month and the reason i was leaving was the price, they offered me £9.99 a month forever( and that was for platinum) and free evening and weekend calls for 12 months which is better than i was going to get from sky! needless to say i stayed with AOL.

i say keep checking your speed as AOL are giving most people the 8mb platinum for £9.99 :j

but you are only getting 1 or 2mbps after about a month :eek:

so i bet if you check your speed your only getting 1 or 2mbps on the platinum lol :rotfl:

If you are on Platinum, you are on a DSL / LLU MAX service. Your line speed will be the maximum stable speed that it can get, up to 8mb. The speed is not reduced after about a month (or ever).

The speed can be reduced, AOL cap if you download too much and restrict your speeds.

Indeed. Speed can be capped, subject to the Fair Usage Policy. This, however, is irrespective of the Platinum priceplan (or any other priceplan).

Aol is loosing customers a LOT! Call them and say I want a better deal or I'm cancelling my service,then tell them you want the 9.99 service and they will give it to you. I got it on the first try!!

My exchange is non LLU and I am paying AOL £14.99 for 1mb.

How do I get a cheaper deal?

I'm on a non LLU exchange and I get £9.99 for the silver package. That's the most my line can take, so it suits me.
To get the lower rate, just phone them and say you want to cancel because your friend / relative etc has the £9.99 deal. It's worth a try.
