AOL Outage in Balham, Greater London, 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.

@Miss_Snuffy Self pity finds many friends online from the earliest days of community forums up to today's toxic social media. "Share your support" we used to say at AOL and people did and lots was valuable, but a deep streak of 'alternative truth' bedded down there too to solicit attention.

@Suvvo @AOL I’m having same problem… think it’s worldwide

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.

@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

@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.

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.

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.

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!

@yungcontent And Bebo never sells to AOL

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

should i ignore potential copyright problems and release my aol set on spotify n stuff maybe i should remove all the sound clips from the movie?

@misantroopje @CarshenahJ For me, people couldn't get through with phone calls when I was online. There were times my cousin would hop on AOL messenger and tell me to get ******** off the internet so he can call me lol

@choomnice If they are both single, then what is the issue? I’ve been a Yang Zi fan since the AOL, and I always want her to be happy. It’s sad she can’t even be free in her own private space, and there are those bringing her down by throwing malice on what can easily happen between friends.

@DavidblogerICBW We were still learning so much about email and the Internet back then; heck, the government didn't even have servers set up during Powell's tenure. If I remember correctly, he used an AOL email address because of that. The government was slow to get on that bandwagon.

@PokemonTCGDrops Does the customer support email end with @ aol .com? Mans running his site off DSL connection on a clear green iMac from 2002.

@CatieOsaurus Two types of kids: those who make a cool curtain with AOL discs and those who get into disc fights with their friends, throwing them at each other and pretending they’re the bad guy in the Dolph Lundgren movie I Come in Peace

Least likely: Sure, AOL fought. But they lost. Most likely: No packaged internet portal gaming service ended up doing well in the long run. All of them failed and the open model of the internet won.

@MiamiMoleMan On the flip side my kids will never know the horror of having their parents read the transcripts with someone from AOL support explaining why we are banned

@engineers_feed AOL getting access to Usenet was pretty god awful. Give me, give me, give me, me too, me too, me too.
