Petoria 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Not exactly the type of press AOL needs. Pretty every computer person hates AOL anyway, and now, maybe, the public will realize that they suck. Link to post Share on other sites

Timdog1010 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I love how that article mentioned that the rep was no longer with the company.I had this exact conversation a few years ago when I tired to cancel AOL.Luckily my girlfirend at the time was a customer service rep, so I just handed her the phone and she got the guy's manager on the line and ripped him a new one.Bu the point is, that is SOP for AOL.So this guy got fired because he was following orders.They're running a great operation over there...

....Ian.... 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have AOLdial up.i used to have that and i must ask, how do you multi table w/ dial up? seems too slow Link to post Share on other sites
Timdog1010 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 i used to have that and i must ask, how do you multi table w/ dial up? seems too slowI have dial up and can multi-table just fine.logging on to the internet and firing up the Pokerroom server takes longer than than DSL or cable connection would.but once I'm up and running it's fast enough.I have a new laptop, though. I'm sure that helps... Link to post Share on other sites
dms26 3 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 a radio show this morning was taking a lot of calls about how hard it is to cancel accounts at AOL. two people had trouble canceling service for dead relatives. Link to post Share on other sites
dna4ever 2 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 i had a 6 month free trial with AOL that came with my new computer. I cancelled it last week, no problems what so ever. Just one quick plug to lower my price to like $4.99 or something with my highspeed connection. I said no thanks and he cancelled it. 3 - 5 minutes tops. Link to post Share on other sites
