lyns_2

When you are about to switch over to AOL for calls bt will send you a letter saying how sorry they are your leaving them ect and give you the 4 digit number to put in befor you call same as 18866 ect.
I am not going to go for it any more as when i phoned up aol they said my line was only 1.5 so to pay twice as much and run a the same speed dont make the offer seem so good even though i would get a laptop.
No offers for me as im on the cheapest package and the fasted spead i can go.
Can anyone tell me of a site where i can check the speed my broadband is running at please

From their website:
"Pay As You Go (inclusive with Wireless Plus unless you upgrade or opt out)."

How do you opt out? I went through their online ordering process but was not given the option to opt out so can't understand how this is supposed to work. Has anyone ordered by phone and asked to opt out of their PAYG AOL Talk??

If you opt out they charge you more !! About £10 more....

Its easier just to say yeah ok I will take ur naffy Talk talk thingy and then just use BT anyway for your calls by dialling the prefix code that BT will send to you.... cant remember it off the top of my head sorry

Apart from two small things:
1) Their 6p connection charge for each call.
2) The face that you can not use overrise numbers which would give you free calls (0p/min) on BT and very cheap calls to mobiles and international numbers.

i suspect you may actually be to late now, if i remember correctly orders were limited to the first 100,000 orders. i ordered mine on the day the promotion was started and have fears over recieving the laptop?
