Yes, that was my post. Sorry, I would have put the link up myself only I was in a rush to get to the shops.

Anyhow, I wouldn't bother with the fix at the moment as most people seem to be having fewer problems today. Obviously, if you are still having trouble with a netgear router and it's your last resort, then by all means use the fix. It worked for me and i'm staying with it until everything sorts itself out.

Can report that the fix that I put on DigitalSpy earlier today is still working fine and does seem to be a succesful temporary solution.

I've also used the fix, and everything seems to be working alot better now >Fingers crossed< also noticed that its easy to revert back to the old settings should anything go pear shaped.
If all goes well for a week i might re-consider leaving them. If not im off to Sky. :T

It's not a setting problem. AOL are telling people to change MTU size. This does not work. I have posted a fix on digitalspy for people with a Netgear Router. This was given to me by AOL but is only temporary while they fix this problem. It seems like the problem is huge.

I feel good knowing I'm not alone! :j After several wasted hours on the phone yesterday, I seem to have the problem fixed. I phoned Netgear for advice and the changes they suggsted seemed to work. I'm sick of the service from aol. I phoned to complain and the girl told me the the CPW switch was not a problem anymore. I am unsure who to believe.
I am considering moving to another isp but am scared the service will be just as bad and even slower. It's so frustrating!:mad:
Can I ask - what other isp would be better? I cannot get Virgin as I am not in cable area, but could get virgin analogue. I'm currently getting up to 8mbs with aol. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've been with AOL for years and years and years. Very few problems, and none recently.
