AOL Outage in Woodford Green, Greater London, England

When it first arrived — and I made a blog there within the first two months of its public existence — @tumblr was the near perfect blogging platform. Then AOL destroyed it. Now it’s a horrible jail where I can’t get rid of this dumb screen. Thanks @automatic.

AGREED! Every kid except me had nice shiny internet...we were stuck with that shitty AOL dialup that we were only allowed to use to play Cartoon Network games on if we were good 🥴

@AOLSupportHelp We have been going around in circles and the reason I’ve tweeted my issue is I can’t get anywhere because we’ve done all the security Q’s and still 0 - I need to speak with a human being.....

@aolmail I’ve been attempting to retrieve my wife’s AOL password for the past 10 or more emails with your supposed email support. Its merry go round getting nowhere. Please assist.

@AOL unable to sign into email for last week. No response from customer services. No one to talk to either😡😡Absolute joke. Important emails that I cannot access. AOL can you please get on to this. Beyond frustrating.

@reece_dinsdale The other two are "Welcome to AOL: you're connected!" and "Goodbye...th-that's it." Damn I need to put these on my new laptop!

@neilperkin You'd think they could find a fix. This used to happen with all AOL accounts showing up as 'Virginia' 20 years ago!

@teleject @meyerweb It kinda does though... With MSN Explorer (yes that was a thing in 2001, competing with AOL) we enabled "toast notifications" and the name was because "the little thing popped like the toast on the screensavers." Real toast never does that. It sits there. It sometimes Burns.

@1womanworkforce If he’s working from the aol ap I would delete it and reload. We had a problem with aol a while ago. The old Ap wasn’t working. Change the password just in case on your web version.

I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. If it doesn't work, they shouldn't take my money. @TalkTalk is a useless outfit too. I was called for months by fake Indian call centres after their data hack. My home internet sucks. @AOL @Ofcom

Utterly useless service from AOL/Yahoo/TalkTalk yet again following my complaint reference the breakdown/failure of their systems. So irritating when you pay for a service and don't get it. I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. @AOL

@KJDSportPsych @aolmail Did they ever fix this for you? Same thing happening to me the last 24 hrs

@KremlinBunker @AOLSupportHelp @robingrimmer Did they fix this for you? Can't access mine either.

@tylerrobb @BattleNonSense Yeah the compatible games is my biggest issue. Trying to run both Corsairs new K70 with this mouse at 8K was insane. I thought the aol start up music was about to play

@AmazonHelp well. it worked last night. today it says that it is updating when I turn it on. and now it doesn’t work. it’s trying to stream @hbomax and after four attempts starting the app, it’s now playing it like aol dialup and has given me errors twice. what should I do to troubleshoot?

@AOLSupportHelp Sorry, not signing onto another terms of service that enables even more intrusion into my account—there is no category for e-mail, anyway. I think you got the message, at least I hope so.

@APompliano Coinbase is the new AOL, stay away from that SV **** coin casino, anyone want my BSV from CB, I cant sell that bag. When will the CEO say "Bitcoin"

@SuperStr8Advok8 STOP using your cell/computer,VM,VOIP,Windows NT/XP,Premium processor,Waze,AOL instant messenger,life saving drugs/inventions/water from air for poor/cancer detection/amneosinthesis/anasthetic,Restoring sight 2blind.etc.We give 2 society Uanti Semitic leeches

@aolmail when are you going to roll back that awful update? From the reviews it looks pretty unpopular. Think "New Coke." Think "If it ain't broke..." Really. We hate it.

@DuncanCantDie The children will never understand. We were there at the dawn of thr commercial internet. When you had to choose between making phone calls, or connecting to the internet. The chirp, the squeal, the beautiful music of the dial-up modem. AOL diskettes as far as the eye can see.

@samriegel @sherlock_hulmes Silly question, perhaps, but did England have AOL? Was there an early dial-up service better branded for non-Americans online? I may look it up, but this post made me wonder. Some products expand beyond their naming, and I was curious if this was one of them.
