AOL Outage in Swanley, Kent, England

@benjedwards school library had a dial-up modem (probably 9600 baud) to ISP through school district. At home was local ISP as AOL/Compuserve/etc. never had local numbers for me.

@Suvvo @AOL I’m having same problem… think it’s worldwide

@AOLSupportHelp I need help to access my email it’s saying the password or account isn’t correct but I can not access my recovery email address either. I’m being sent in a circle

@AOLSupportHelp hi there having trouble accessing my emails at the moment , I’ve tried to reset my password and it won’t allow me to , could you help?

@AOLSupportHelp hi we have forgotten our aol@password tried to recover it but can’t, have no recovery details set up help please

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.

@yungcontent And Bebo never sells to AOL

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 🥴

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

@kristinkuffner **** this double digit IQ curve is real. I mean this is really such a basic concept. Not even unique to humans. Heck, education aside, there's period porn ffs. This is so backwards, how does he get online even? I miss the old AOL days when getting online was still an IQ test.

@dam5s Despite being burned out on MVVM and my dislike of the built-in page routing, Xamarin is fine. My problems mostly revolve around the barriers put in place by Apple and their walled AOL garden.

I'm an elder millennial. My skills include dialing a rotary phone, properly loading a floppy disk, not losing my **** when I have flashbacks of the AOL dial-up tone, and having entire conversations using only GIFs.

Im not telling anybody what to do but the chances that you will be taken seriously from a hotmail, aol or yahoo email address in 2022 is very slim *****. That **** is going straight to spam.

@BallouxFrancois The article doesn't actually take any strong stances. It just says there should be debate. And it hints at one of the real problems online: the fact that sites are immunized from normal accountability by a special law that was crafted by the sites themselves (Prodigy & AOL)...

@onionheart_ @TheCiscoKidder **** I still have an aol email that I could use from the old dial up days. But I’m much older than that even.

Whenever I have a customer with an AOL email address, I just know it’s going to be drama.

Jin Ling. Come help me guess Wei Wuxian's AOL password

@YahooNews @POTUS Read your article and it’s such spin spin spin. Just read one on AOL and will never read another with yahoo news attached … just saying

@indeancasheII @mishacollins This is hilarious and I adore you. America On-Line was pretty much the only internet service provider in America in the mid to late 90s. If you had internet you had aol. The whole structure was completely different from the internet today. It's hard to even describe the basic >
