Broadband AbandonedWell, I've done it; AOL has got me down so much I have abandoned BB and gone bak to dial up. So its slower but at least I'm not getting kicked off for no reason and the connection is ok. Trouble is I signed an 18 month contract for BB right up to June 2009 so I'm stuck paying for it!  Anyway hope I get better luck this time then come the said date I'm kicking AOL out and going to a better ISP. I'm not very computer savvy, so they can baffle me with the geek speak. I need a hand-holding session on the use of this thing and its innards are a mystery to me

AOL (IMO) are not very good - I got shot of it before I switched to broadband. There are loads of other providers who are really good. Funnily enough, I've used BT right from the start - and I use it in the office too, and it's actually very reliable! I couldn't live without broadband, I spend all my time on work email, doing work stuff or CP stuff (or catsey stuff  ) and dial up would drive me insane!! |

It's the lesser of 2 evils Yola  I just use my computer for emails and Catsey and to connect with my sis in the States, I'm only on it for 1/2 to 1 hour at a time so dial up is ok for me. I don't do music on here or videos so the extra speed is not necessary. I really need a lesson on how to get the best out of it. A friend of mine who is very computer wise said BT is brilliant for internet working, so may transfer in June 2009. Shame I signed up for so long  |

I really think you should make a complaint and see if they will release you. If you kick up enough of a stink by clearly explaining why you feel they have let you down and make some thinly veiled threats about consumer assocations/trading standards then you might find they'll release you. |

I'd at least give what Yola suggests a go PoshPuss - after all, you can't lose any more than you already are. Ask your friend if he/she can help you with the computer speak! |

I've never felt the need for broadband as all I use my computer for is e-mail, Googling, shopping, Catsey and a garden forum: don't do music, videos, movies, games or any of those things that need blinding speed...... Although sometimes when using Photobucket I do wonder if it would be worth the hassle to change.....  |

I use napster for music, but I don't download it, I just listen to it online. None of the other things though  However, I do require fast download . . . I just don't have the patience to wait an age for a screen to appear, especially as I'm usually juggling 1/2 a dozen screens! |
