AOL Outage in Dartford, 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.

Can safely say that @AOL @aolmail @AOLSupportHelp have proved to have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. No way of contacting other than email, no acknowledgement that Mail account can’t be accessed, no way of resetting password. No help at all. Disgusting.

@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

Equally unusual is the way the NSA extracts what it wants, according to the document: “Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.”

@vmlemon Eventually they're counting on you to forget to cancel before you're charged... this is how AOL used to do it.

@Lucas_Shaw @TaylorLorenz Discovery doesn’t understand Hollywood biz culture. AOL had the same problem. WB/HBO spends money to make it right. Creatives like that. Discovery is where you go to make disposable tv on the cheap. This merger will end same as AOL did

Zaslav is the worst thing to happen to Warner Bros. and DC since AOL. (And possibly related to my former boss, who left.)

So, @AOL, why do you promote @SenatorRounds' lies about the Inflation Reduction Act? It will be the best and only law to help Americans since the GQP Tax Scam in 2017. Why is @AOL promoting the lies?

@AOLSupportHelp need help had problems accessing my email accounts, you helped me sort it but now when I go to reset the accounts it keeps coming up with an error message saying there is a mismatch

@EvilleOtters Have you tried calling the 800 number on the AOL discs for internet help!!

@0x5066 I mean I wouldn't put it past Verizon to figure out some alternative usage for it; they did literally buy AOL just because they didn't have a good email system. But Napster had the same fate; resurrected as music sub service; merged with Rhapsody. I miss Rhapsody.

TIL that AOL still has about 2.2 million people using their dialup service. Wild there's still people on dialup in 2022.
