Hello everybody!

I agree with Desert Hawk. My first steps in the internet I did with AOL. It was alright, but they often had problems with the connection. Several times I had to restart my computer to get the connection working again or I had to do a new login. At that time I still ran an analogue connection via 56 k modem. Last year I switched to a highbandwidth connection (DSL) with a new provider. The company is called "Netcologne" and everything works perfect and if there is a problem, the customer-service is absolutely OK. They also have fair prices. The only disadvantage is, that Netcologne is only available in the area of Cologne/Bonn. Maybe interesting for those who live here!

Kindest regards

I was just on AOL dialup using the forum when suddenly everything stopped working. Then "goodbye from America Online. Your network connection was interrupred" or something to that effect. When I tried to reconnect it got to step 4: 'requesting network attention". Then it would hang up and say "network connection did not connect properly". I called their so-called customer service. They as always said that there was no problem on their end. The woman led me through a bunch of bullshit menus until we got to add/remove programs-AOL connectivity. As I have said before I am almost completely computer illiterate. I knew the problem was NOT in my computer, but in their network. When I asked what this would do, she said "well, we have to remove" something. I just hung up then. AOL seems to have periodic service outages so frequently even the cable company would be embarassed. Most last a few hours, then it works again. I am not going to f*** around with files on my computer that I know nothing about, when the problem is obviously their freaking network. amazinhgly, this outage was short and I am now back on only 20 minutes later. Does anyone else experience occasional internet service outages like this? When i used to use the internet at the Kern County Library, they would have periodic outages. Some days there would be signs on the door saying "no internet today system down". Sometimes I would be on and suddenly everything would freeze up. Does everyone just have to accept periodic internet outages like we sometimes have power and cable tv outages? IT IS FRUSTRATING AS HELL! Especially for a tech illiterate!
