I think that it can take up to a few weeks for the laptop to come it would depend on the stock levels I bet

The router will be dispatched from aol and the laptop will be built by dell then dispatched hence the reason it takes longer to arrive.

What hacks me off about most of the broadband companies is that is takes ages to get the routers. If I ordered a router through dabs, ebuyer or aria I'd have full online order tracking and it would most likely arrive withing 2 days. (most of the time next day).

And these are the companies that are giving access to the internet and are not able to make use of the information.

If its the same router AOL gave my mate you have to put @aol.com in the username

He didn't relise this and therefore took him a fair while to get it working.

The router arrived within about 5 days - I popped in to Carphone Warehouse to have a play with their store lappy and the guy behind the counter reckons AOL tells them they are sent out 2 - 3 weeks after a 2 week settling-in period for the broadband. In total up to 5 weeks!

I'm going to ring AOL now to check.

OK the lappy arrived today - but not USB network adaptor - I'm sure they said this would be included
