AOL Outage in Edmonton, 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

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.

@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?

@rawbeancoal Dial up Connection was a thing but terrible source for connecting the internet and Aol was the main place to go online to, but seriously it was a drag if someone calls us and we be instantly logged out.

Look, I'm about to be 35, I don't know your shorthand and abbreviations if it hasn't been popular since AOL was a thing (LOL!) Do us both a favor and spell shit out 🤣🤣🤣

AOL really ‘is’ a special kind of stupid!!!!!!!

@DeliriousCooks I got a way to get through the number verification for outlook, live, msn, yahoo and aol. If I figure out how to do captcha (2captcha) I’ll have it fully automated. Otherwise semi-automation isn’t bad either.

@Dnileriverafter @AOL The rally was never tense. Quit projecting.

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

@rawbeancoal I was so sad when AOL instant messenger and then yahoo chat were both closed. they still had AOL desktop a couple years ago but I think they closed the chat down :( oh well there's still IRC, it is not controlled by any company so it's here to stay forever :)

@gtconboy Frontier was the worst telephone/internet service I ever had, worse than the old AoL.

@ATTHelp Does that look slow to you, cuz this shit feels like @AOL dial up days 😡 🐢

@chrisjollyhale Went to college with no cell phone. Had to pay long distance when I wanted to call home (so like never). Moderated an AOL chat room so I could otherwise be on for free ;)
