AOL Outage in Hornsey, 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 🥴

@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!

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.

@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

@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 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?

twitters acting up and discord was down earlier y2k is finally coming, just got slowed down logging into AOL.

@PangolinFeets Ugh shit like this ALWAYS. 👀 ******* AOL destroyed me.

@ScottFordTVGuy I’m 48. I’ve never received a call. I had the same number for nearly 15yrs and still have my original 20yr old AOL account. Furthermore I do not know anyone whoever has been.

@KirbApple @System2048 i’ve never seen this before but all i can think of is aol instant messenger man on drugs

@Red_Eye_Tactics One of mine was a MUD back in the AOL days called Dark Forest. Most people never heard of it.

@SunderlandAFC @RokerReport I honestly fancy just walking into the AOL and take the training sessions and overtake the management. After all I won the England deaf football league. Basic football is all you need. Never mind tactics blah blah blah

@shamblebot I used AOL chatrooms in middle/high school. Shld have been more supervised/limited. Recall at least 1 incident where a dude knew I was a teen and tried to flirt, but flirting with anyone didn't interest me at the time, and internet IDs then were mostly disconnected from real life

@Nickrob In the 1990s, AOL users got a terrible reputation for showing up on Usenet groups just posting "me too" after any post they agreed with. And that's basically the entire internet now.

@GrassClippinz @Lucyferrr @ritememes @mgd_the @JaneB1981 @Steveohmygoodne @conservmillen @no_plan_anne @jameelajamil @GloriaSteinem “you never recieved or paid child support” wow can you just stop making false assumptions. It’s getting rather annoying. You’re acting like a 13 year old that just downloaded AOL messenger for the first time. It’s 2019 ffs.

@BraelinOfficial @mntwindan @AvariceKing @lindsemcpherson Meh! We used to have that. Well, until AOL closed down Compuserve two years ago.
