It sounds like the problem here is your AOL caching things it shouldn't be caching and therefore not serving you the updated webpages. Why not move from AOL to a real ISP?

In any case, if you don't rate FD as a bank, why on earth haven't you switched to another bank?

Was working later on AOL.

I don't use them as my main bank.

Savings rates are too poor for that.

If you dont like them why complain when you think you cant get on.

Not being overkeen on FD does not mean I don't want to check my account.

Silly question that was....

If you have a specific beef about them (other than uptime), why didn't you post about that, rather than something as innocuous as the service being down? Seems like a bit of a cop out.

My post was about service downtime because that was actually the problem I had.

Hardly going to go on about something else when it wasn't the current issue.

If you dont like the bank then get an account with a bank that you like. But by moaning about FD you will get comments. FD for basic normal banking is one of the best in the UK. If you dont like that then open an account with a bank that you wont complain about.

Maybe a better question is: why are you still with them if you don't like them? Just move banks (oh and use a proper browser ).

I can if I want.

I don't rate it as a bank anyway.

Better service elsewhere.

For my point of view & I think others it is about what you said.

if you want better service, please feel free to trust your money with santander or lloyds, halifax etc

i hear they're much better than FD. so much better in fact, they're always in the news bout it...

I swear some people seek out things that they aren't happy with and keep hold of them just so that they have something to complain about.

A lot of FD lovers about here
