AOL Outage in Hounslow, Greater London, England

AOL would never go down. Is AOL still a thing?

@aolmail are you considering replying to this tweet? I’ve had another response from AOL ‘support’ team which is useless. Please DM today.

@aolmail A family member has received the most appalling customer service from #aol. Utterly shocking. All she wants to do is reset the password as she’s been locked out & the response was effectively, go away and set up another account. She has replied, but I’m not happy.

@liampowersjr @NorthmanTrader @Tesla Fully agree by the way, Tesla is strange, but I think some of this isn't just cars but their battery technology....never understood it myself. Never understood AOL time Warner, even wrote a paper on it for my MBA and got the lowest mark out of all my papers.

@sigmasports I’m doing my best guys, bear with me. I’m doing an online chat with AOL online support and have Ask Jeeves fired up in another browser.

The first PlayStation came out, and Macs transitioned to Power PC. AOL is launched. Amazon was founded. Microsoft announces it will no longer sell or support the MS-DOS operating system separately from Microsoft Windows

@KwakuMMNT 112 by default. Jagged Edge were broadcasting to us using 2001 AOL dial up. Horrible signal.

I still have an AOL email address so never question my loyalty

Although I have re-installed @AOLSupportHelp on iPhone I am still receiving “wrong password” messages. Puzzling that all’s well on iPad & laptop! Help!!!

@aolmail @AOL @AOLSupportHelp having rectified the continual WRONG PASSWORD notice, today it’s back again but only on my iPhone 7+, not on my iPad which is working perfectly. HELP!

@AOLSupportHelp Hi Guys, password prompt now so frequent; every time I open my AOL email account. Please ask your engineers to fix quickly. Thanks so much.

Weird today on @AOL receiving all emails on iPhone but iPad still saying “wrong password”. Password same on both devices! Help!!!

Still having intermittent trouble sending/receiving emails on my @AOL account. Updated password on AOL via Safari; it works. Does not work through my normal email channel either sending or receiving. Systems don’t seem to share info - help!

@AOLSupportHelp Did send it but still having same problem!

Recurring @AOL password problem; keeps telling me “incorrect password” again; had same problem a month ago. When I input password it is accepted for a short while then same message appears again; infuriating! HELP!!!

@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!

@mrjamesob @Independent has the worst Web page ever. Even people using AOL in 1998 would be appalled. I like to read articles before commenting on them but with that site I just can't. They could have a fully-working home cure for cancer on there and I'd just stick with the cancer tbh.

@GordonJohnson19 suggesting $TSLA is like $AOL is a cute punchline, but ridiculous. AOL chose to remain with dialup tech, letting competitors overtake. #tesla never settles for their technology advantages.

@korrasrevengers I mean, anyone can write ideas anywhere. If it is a convenient place to jot them down, why not? Everybody has phones. Some people like certain tools. Some people still cling to their @ AOL email addresses. It is a weird world out here. Some people record albums in Garage Band!

I have trust issues with people who still use aol,yahoo, etc instead of just gmail/@-domain-name

@gonefullcrypto Sure, right after ethereum flips btc. Predictions like this are pointless, imo. If you asked someone in 1998 if AOL would still be king in 2008, most people would have said yes. What if a third network shows up and beats out both? Hedging is better than predicting.

You know there was a time when being on a computer talking to a person you’ve never met physically was considered some weirdo ****? I know because I was called a weirdo during the AOL days. Now look at us. Socialization is a muthafucka ain’t it?

@meeware I sadly agree on your last point about recovering. I've been 'social' online since the beginning. '93 on usenet. Music forums. Even Compuserve rooms. Early Yahoo chat. ICQ! etc. CuSeeMe. NEVER AOL. :) It was a few years ago when I first thought "Oh no! What have we done!"

when I was a child i told my mom **** school and ever since then I been retarded with it thinkin bout nothin got the aol dial up sound in my head 24/7 i put that on everything walking with a limp cuz my wallet so fat they pay me not to come to they house and scream at they moms

@OrkiesSteve Brian Last claims Vince is going to sell but this is based on the layoffs and getting great deals with NBC-Universal, FOX, and USA. So the rumors might be cope over the deals he's been making to put WWE in a bad light (i.e., they're doing a WCW AOL and Time Warner merger thing)

Dug up my ancient mabinogi account from back when I was still into Touhou and lurked forums and there were people discussing it in those forums and the game was region locked to US only and I had to do some weird as **** AOL doohickey to login but I gave up Its been... 12 years.
