AOL Outage in Streatham, Greater London, England

@NW6Rd You've just reminded me my contract is up with my absolutely appalling @SkyUK broadband. It's so slow it's like AOL dial-up

@AOL after weeks of “wrong password” still having major problems with AOL! Seems email & via Safari not joined up. Worrying as I’m in middle of negotiations! Help!

I’ve been with AOL all my internet life. Just recently it keeps telling me my password is wrong; I put the same password in again & it’s alright for a while. Today emails appear then suddenly vanish, is @AOL trying to dismiss me. Help!

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 🥴

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

CompuServe when I first got online in 1995, MSN Messenger, the very occasional foray into Usenet. Tried AOL, ICQ, a few others. But never enjoyed them. Had both AIM and Yahoo Meseenger But only very rarely used them.

@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.

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp Still not working 😠

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp I'm the same Julie. The app I'm using won't let me sign in

@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

@aolmailhelp hello, my mum needs to delete her AOL email. We can't sign in in order to delete it, please help - thank you.

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.

@Kokomothegreat AOL was the worst offender for hacks etc. This is a deal with the devil.

@MartinLangmaid Show off! I was happy with my 14.4kbps modem, bulletin boards, unlimited AOL coffee coasters, and my mum picking up the other handset to make a call at the worst possible moment.

@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?

@godisyougodisme @oldandloaded Ditto, but I always went to the exact same AOL chatroom where people would role play as super heroes,x men characters,comic book characters, etc I thank god I never ran into a ********* though the horror stories I have read on reddit are crazy.

@CNBC @CNBCMakeIt oops wrong comparison, might be better to compare bitcoin to TCP/IP = internet (opensource protocol) vs AOL (private owned company network) so this wealth manager might need some informing on comparison or what bitcoin is. "blockchain" doesnt make it valuable, lmfao

@tastywerewolf Ye I’m very aware MSN was so of its time that I go to type it and realise shit no one will know that And Americans never even had MSN, who knows what the AOL shortcuts were

@EBischoff you think that the WWE will ever thank AOL for handcuffing WCW and handing it to them on a silver platter everyone knows that WCW would still be in business and the industry would be better off sorry watching the WWE Network and they are so out of touch jmo.

@sparky_husky @W7QL @WY7AA @twjones85 I don’t even know you’re dang call. Get a freaking twitter handle with some context. I suck at this and need all the help I can get. This isn’t AOL instant messenger bro.

I just watched them in four pixels and AOL Music audio for 15 minutes and I’m happier than a pig in shit. #BTSxJingleBall

@swedishbotmafia @WiseOldTexan @DevinCow @EarthLink @AOL I think earthlink@was before aol. I was a mindspeing customer and got bought up by EarthLink.

@chikago12 It was ridiculous. I don’t know how they got away with it. They sent out millions of Cd-rom’s with AOL software and a month of free Internet access (back when that was a big deal) so everyone signed up, but then you’d be trapped. No way to cancel online. Only phone.

@philllosoraptor @coocoosncoco @MattWalshBlog Yea I don’t really know what the solution is other then parents doing a better job. We grew up in the age of AOL and dial up and parental controls. The day my friends and I discovered we could bypass that with broadband all bets were off 😂

Twitter, if I wanted delayed entry on a social network, I'd jump in the wayback machine and set the controls to dial-up modem, AOL & 1996.
