AOL silver for £9.99 per month

  • Probably,

    But, seeing as they have £45 cashback through quidco at the moment (I think its still on anyway) plus first month free, and a free Netgear adsl2 router on a 12 month contract, its effectively costing you not much over the course of the year.

    I have been with aol since about 2000/01 and had been paying 29-99 a month for platinum, just got it reduced to 17-99, but if some people are getting it for 9-99 then I got to get that to save me more money.
    Have you got a job yet? :think:

    NO? Then :shhh:

  • I have been on the 9.99 silver aol for a few months now, I rung them and made a noise that others were paying 9.99 and I was still paying 17.99. They reduced it straight away! I rcvd an email a few weeks ago to say they were upgrading the speed to match AOL gold shortly. That will do me!

    It should be noted that AOL in the UK is now owned by Talk Talk..cough..:rolleyes:

    I would advise members to do some research on Talk Talk before signing up for a year.

    No it isn't, the internet service is run by Carphone Warehouse which are also the owners of Talk Talk. The AOL service is run is a seperate service from Talk Talk and still uses the AOL infrastructure. AOL still run the website and Email etc.

    Phone aol today told them that i wanted to cancel aol as sky were offering broadband for free with there tv package, ( dont have sky by the way ) So they said they could reduce my broadband from £16.99 to £9.99. Ask what i thought said still not as good as sky, waited while they checked something came back on and offfered me 8meg upgrade as well. Have agreed to another 12 mths with aol.

    Can you please clarify that you are getting 8 meg for £9.99? The cheapest 8 meg offered so far by AOL has been £17.99. If you are paying £9.99 are you sure you are still not on 2 Meg?

    one assumes aol will move over to talktalk llu systems at some point ???

    At the moment they retain their own infrastructure and are run as a seperate business from Talk Talk. AOL had quite a big LLU before Carphone Warehouse took over.
