I believe BT/Yahoo got together to offer an alternative to AOL so read into that what you like.
I did have an AOL account but don't bother now, too much trouble and things like this pissed me off too much. Actually leaving them was hell itself, the bloke on the phone was unreal, it was like his life depended on me staying with them, he just wouldn't have it why I wanted to go and no matter what I said he would come back with an instant reply to it, it was terrible, ended up swearing at the prick in the end and putting the phone down, he really, really got on my nerves he did. Spam was bad too. I set up an e-mail account and told no-one, didn't post a thing anywhere, nothing, just kept it to myself and alas, a few days later, full, pages of spam..........
Funny though how AOL sounds like a certain part of the anatomy, that sort of sums them up....
