AOL live up to their name!

3rd Jul 2010 10:45pm

The wonderful AOL have struck again!

This week I have had 3 customers call to say that their broadband wasn't working, and hadn't been for about 2 weeks. Through a very long call with the first customer we eventually fixed the problem. However with equally long phone calls to AOL technical support the other 2 customers were left high and dry with AOL unable to solve the problem.

These 2 customers have now decided to cancel their AOL broadband and gone with other suppliers.

The fact that three customers have all had problems about the same time with the same ISP suggests to me that AOL have had severe problems with their servers, probably something to do with transferring server information from AOL (inc?) to Carephone Warehouse (who now own them).

 

Update

I've now had a further 3 AOL customers call with the exactly the same problem! Unfortunatley AOL cannot help them even though they think there is no problem.

Useful Stuff

The general settings usually required by BT broadband modems/routers are as follows:
VPI number: 0
VCI number: 38
Authentication: CHAP
Modulation: G.DMT
Encapsulation: PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
Virtual Circuit Multiplexing (VC-MUX)
