    Now the company has been bought out. It wouldn't surprise me if the new owners looked at these deals, and introduced a new set of terms that introduced either a strict FUP, or download limits.

    If they did anything like that then you can just get your MAC and move.

    I agree its crazy leaving AOL while paying £9.99 a month you wont come close to beating that anywhere else with no usage limits whatsoever

    As for BBC broadband ive just watched some news/weather/eastenders and have no problem with it on AOL :confused:

    I'd say the same. If I was already with AOL, I would wait to see if there were any changes to their download policy before considering a move. There are no other deals anywhere near this at the moment (and I can't see these deals being repeated anywhere in the short term).

    It will be interesting to see how the BT Wholesale price cuts affect deals offered when they start coming into effect next April.

    I'm not actually having any more problems as they did say they were working to get the IP Addresses showing as UK, not US ones :beer:

    However the email issue persists :(
