AOL Broadband Provider - Wireless Broadband Deals
About AOL Broadband Provider UK
Launched in 1996, AOL UK is a division of AOL (America Online) Europe and later its broadband division was acquired by the Carphone Warehouse in 2006. Once found to be as one of the worst Internet Service Providers in UK by the survey made by BBC Watchdog in the late nineteen nineties, however, after the launch of AOL Broadband in 2002, AOL UK has been growing steadily and rapidly in recent years and eventually made the Carphone Warehouse the biggest LLU provider in UK and the third largest ISP in UK in terms of subscriptions.
Along with their broadband and phone services, AOL also provides other services like email, news, entertainment and tools & services thus cutting a niche for itself in the UK broadband industry.
AOL also offers Anytime, a dial-up service and AOL Talk which offers various call plans.
AOL Wireless Broadband packages
Recently, AOL gave a face-lift to its broadband division by renaming its products and introducing new features with its three broadband packages - AOL Broadband Wireless, AOL Broadband Wireless Plus and Wirless flexi. With 8 Mb download speed and excellent usage allowance, these packages come with a special offer of free wireless router worth £50. However, the promotional and limited offer of AOL Broadband Wireless Plus includes a free laptop worth £450.
*This is maximum speed. The actual speed depends on your line and the distance between the exchange and your premises.

Speeds are reliable. I signed 18 month contract with AOL last year. Their wireless support is quite good. But their customer support is really in bad shape.

I have been a customer of AOL for the last three years. The packages are expensive and their customer support is below standard. Their contracts are unusually long, so i am just tied in up 24 month contract. I get speeds which is just one-fifths of what they advertise.

AOL customer service is appalling. They don't understand my problems. Speeds are pathetic and problems occur frequently. When I contact them on their expensive customer support lines, I was hanged up for more than 15 minutes.

AOL has always been good and I am satisfied with it. Their Live help is quite useful and does not cost anything. However, their customer support is a bit expensive.
