Luckily in this country it's not so bad, because tine warner doesn't
really own anything apart the UK part of AOl that they used to, but
obviously don't any more. Well OK, technicly they own those certain TV
channels, but internetwise they don't own anything else. As for why AOL
is in the UK and many other countries, that's a good question, just the
name it self, like you said, AOL UK makes it sound so dumb and pointless.
This is also going to be very interesting, as carphone warehouse/talk
talk is already struggeling with customer demand and this is even before
they bought AOL. Sure with AOL they're buying all the infrastructure that
comes with it, but if it's to go by any previous experiences of carphone,
they're going to make a pretty bad job of it. Just like orange did with
buyin freeserve/wannadoo. Last week thousands of customers were without
internet for over 4 days, yes you read it right, 4 days because of
"networking problem". We still pretty much don't know what this problem
is as orrange is pretty much refusing to explain. I'm sorry, I like
orrange as a phone provider although I wish they had better tarifs, but
they really sghouldn't have gone in to the internet business, as they
don't seem to be making good job of it.
OK now I've successfully broke it by sort of going away from the original
subject, I gonna go to bed because I'm so tired I'm not even sure what
I'm typing or why I'm typing and this message doesn't have much of a
point but I'm sending it anyway. Night.

Yeah, ok, so this is ten days late, but why, exactly, is AOL...
America! offline! the UK's third biggest ISP? It really doesn't make a
lot of
sense to me.
AOL shouldn't even exist in America, let alone all the other countries
it's infested itself with.
And, around here, those who don't directly have anything to do with AOL
usually do. If you're on cable in this area, the only option is
TimeWarner Cable or Earthlink, which just goes through TW anyway.
Time Warner is AOL's parent company.
Thus, millions of non-AOL subscribers in this country are indirectly,
anyway.
DSL subscribers here get either Hellsouth or Earthlink, unless they go
with something like Speakeasy, which I've done, because they don't lose.
It costs more, but it's worth it.
Can't AOL just die already?
