<![CDATA[AOL Boycotte!!!!]]>THis thread has been started for 2 reasons. One I want to rally anyone with aol to cancel it and go to a better, cheaper service. I have no preference other than no AOL.

REASONS:

  1. I have worked at usbank for 4.5 years and have heard nothing but bad about them from customers.

  2. What I have heard is that you can never cancel your account without a problem.

  3. I have just witnessed this.

  4. Their Customer Service sux and they treat people like crap.

  5. I was treated like crap.

Now, the situation is that I bought a computer from best buy, when you do that they automatically give 3 months aol for free. You can't get around it from what I understand. June 16th, 3 months to the day I cancelled my aol service, got a confirmation number and everything. Get a letter several days later stating "This letter confirms that on June 16th, 2005 you agreed to continue your aol service. Your service will continue and you will be charged 23.90 per month as agreed." I called them with my cancellation # and they said it was cancelled. I was then told I was charged $23.90 for my next month and my service ends July 15th. I asked if it was cancelled and they told me yes again. So I asked why I have service until July 15th. Because we billed you for it. I then had to call back the same number I initially dialed to speak to billing. They told me I was not charged, then they told me I was, then I wasn't then I was. Then they told me that they will not credit me even tho I have a confirmation letter showing same day cancellation, I then talked to a supervisor and they said the same thing. Everyone treated me like shit. If I talked to people like that I would have been fired years ago. Save yourself the trouble and cancel now. Rally for support and stick it to the big bad corporation.

Thank you for your time.

The convenience for people that were internet illiterate made it very user friendly. Everything was right there for you and you had everything at your disposal.

Damn, you got some pretty hip grandparents and stuff to even know how to use the internet, heh.

Anyways, AOL, yeah, don't use it.

I was in some chat room like 4 years ago and I told some kid i'd kill him(in a game) but the lil shit deleted the game part out so it it looked like" Id kill you" so Terms of Service(TOS) banned me. Well i dont think it was fully because of that, because I had about 6 other incidents with TOS and the 7th was like a full on ban.

probably did my family a favor by getting us kicked off of AOSuck

Jim, I knew the whole time, i saved a few bux, I'll win, I know how this shit works. 4.5 years of customer service tells me this. I see it all the time. But still, FUCK EM!!!!! have everyone you know cancel!!!

You guys need to clean out the sand... Jk, AOL does suck though, I remember back in the day when we were trying to cancel ours it was a b*tch.

Nope, noone ever asked on here about my feelings about AOHELL. I never had their service on my computers, but every computer I've seen that has/had aol was just bogged way the fuck down by it.

I found this vid, it's really old, still funny though,but it pretty much sums up how bad AOL is
AOL SUX!!!!!

AOL is a friggin virus, once it gets loaded in your system it will take you a LOOOOOONNNGGGG time to get rid of its remnants w/o formatting and starting over.
