  7. On the whole in my opinion they are quite good as an isp ? I have been with them for years, but they did dissapoint me when I couldn't get a chance a getting a free lap top ???!!! especially when I have been a loyal customer for years!!! also one other anoying thing is the amount of pop up/ spam rubbish that comes up now with the aol browser?? They need to get this in check !!!!! Take not AOL if you have bothered to read this ?!!!!

  8. 3 anonymous comments within the span of 6 minutes praising AOL makes me think they're attempting some sort of damage control.

  9. What was the answer to Mrs T Williams question on Jul 16 2008? I, also, have been a loyal AOL customer since 2003 and signed up for AOL Talk - do I qualify for a free laptop?
