I have been an AOL customer for a few years and have noticed that the broadband speed has dramatically slowed since Talk Talk bought it over. Sometimes it is more akin to dial-up.

This is a huge con. I keep on seeing these ever increasing contract terms getting bigger and bigger. AOL arn't up to scratch with their connection speeds as their contention ratios (yes I read all the small print!) are approx 50:1 which means during peaks times such as 6pm everyday, you will not be getting 8Mbps speeds. Try a decent provider, Zen for example have contention ratios of 1:1 which means you always have the bandwidth you are paying for and it isn't shared over another 50 people. The laptop is crap too so you are buying 8mbps of which you will see approx 1mbps (see http://www.speedtest.net)” title=”http://www.speedtest.net)” target=”_blank” ref=”nofollow”>http://www.speedtest.net) which will cost you the consumer £22 a month for – ridiculous!

Have just received confirmation that we qualify for this offer, we are existing AOL customers, however, we are outside of a minimum contract so meet the criteria. Our confirmation states that they can supply broadband only to us for £39.99 per month. Funny, we only pay £17.99 a month now. The original offer suggested it would cost £19.99 per month, two-year contract. This would have mean't we'd be paying an extra £48 over the two years for the free laptop. As it is, we'd be looking at an extra £22 per month to get the same service as we get now, which equates to over £500 for the two years, to qualify for a 'free' laptop that isn't even worth that much. The offer originally sounded good but proves to be a big con.
