No mention on any word for AOL customers who get their BB over the ntl network yet....

More than likely it will be available.

Interesting pricing £34.99 same as NTL £34.99 Could this be the new standard price for 1MB and you do need a BT phone

Re: 1 MB BB from AOL
 

Could it lead to NTL dropping their price for 1MB?

AOLs 600k is 27.99 vs NTLs 24.99 the differential of £3 being for the AOL content?

AOL 1Mb is £34.99 vs NTLs 34.99 no premium for content?

Thus NTLs price should fall to 31.99 a month.

Re: 1 MB BB from AOL
 

The £34.99 quoted as the price is a special offer. AOL haven't announced the full price yet.

Re: 1 MB BB from AOL
 

Their website shows no indication that this is a special offer.
Newspaper says offer ends 31/1, but does not really indicate that this is a promotional price.

Since when have you ever managed to get a three minute video clip at decent quality which is about 1 or 2 megs (judging by the download speed on dialup) ?

Re: 1 MB BB from AOL
 

I would not have thought that a 3 min mp3 would be under 2mb nevermind video, most of mine are 4mb ish.

My Pipex 1 meg DSL subscription is £33.99 a month inc. vat, and you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

edit: And AOL have to recoup the cost of all them annoying letters and CD's they send out which invariably end up getting binned by 99% of the population. I thought people only used AOL for 2 reasons, 1, they're ignorant of other ISP's or 2, they can't get broadband and use AOL up to the end of the free trial period then either re-register with a different credit card or use a real ISP.

I would think there are many happy AOL users who like the chat functionality, the provided content, spam filtering and parental controls.

Most internet users want the handholding that AOL provides, not a pure ISP data connection.
