As you stated it is a wireless router, so it should work with any ISP. I will look into it for you

Don't AOL give out free netgear wireless routers nowadays?

Thanks for your replies, aol only give that package to new customers apparently, didnt want to leave but looks like im going to have to, cos I will not pay for one when others are offering them for free.

Have you called them?

superfly_2

not yet just by email and they said they could not offer it, even tho I have been a customer for nearly 4 years.
Really thinkin bout cancelling now

I have been with suapanet broadband for 12 months and they offered me the following to stay with them for 12 months longer as I cannot be bothered changing providers at the moment

8mb broadband
wireless router (£40)
anit-virus and firewall (£30)
£50 voucher off a LCD or plasma TV

Not bad for nowt, just waiting to receive the goods in the post
I recently purchased a wireless router so I will just keep the new one as a spare

i thnk you may be better actually talking to them instead of email they may offer you one
