AOL Outage in Walthamstow, Greater London, England

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

Some of you never had a 1 hour per day parental control limit on your AOL account and it shows

My direct debit to @TalkTalkTV I think will have the same broadband width they expect me to pay for . ZERO. WORST SERVICE EVER ITS LIKE AOL DIAL UP.

@alice Nah but I reckon a shit tonne of people still do In America AOL still make over half a billion from dial up subscribers* * This may not be true

AOL was the shit

@AOLSupportHelp hello. All my old emails have disappeared. Is there a problem with your servers?

@AOL Some idiot has incorrectly put down my email address as their recovery email address. How can I prevent you from repeatedly emailing me about verification codes?

@aolmail Hi, my AOL email isn’t working, it’s a first for me, is there anyone to help with this?

@SarahMAnderson1 We had so many AOL coasters! But never had an aol account. By that point I had 2 kids and was 2 years past working on UO. DH was still there, though he later went on to work on SWG and EQ2. Other friends work at Blizzard with WoW, so if you have MMO questions, feel free to ask!

@aolmail ready to leave Aol mail. Never have I had to input my password every 5mins, missing important messages. No reply from aol help. Been with aol for years but soon won’t be terrible service and looking at others I’m not the only one. Come on Aol what’s up with imap

@woods_account @AOL Never. Nor gmail, Yahoo, etc

@DIANEVANN14 @AOL I don't feel sorry for pence at all - he deserves never-ending social scorn forever and ever and ever amen

Yo that AOL shit was annoying af

the fact i remember all these.... would revive vine btw, myspace sucked dk, AOL never used it and limewire gave me a bigger virus than the coronavirus

@Erinys Don’t feel bad, I bet a whole lot of those are AOL CDs. I’ve been saving mine for years for some future art projects. Plus the spindles of blank CD-RWs I won’t need to use.

@koshiz I still have an aol acct that I occasionally use. I need to just stop with that crap.

I had to go onto Aol last night to get an email and let me tell you, it was terrible. 0/10 do NOT recommend

@AMurderOfBears I did something similar with someone I met on AOL, but it was for fansubbed anime tapes of Yu Yu Hakusho, Magic Knight Rayearth and Evangelion. Also I used money I was given for school lunches and didn't tell my parents shit.
