I am currently on the AOL £24.99 per month option. This is 1MB uncapped.
I am now out of my contract and am considering changing, with Tiscali probably my preferred option.
Called AOL and they offered to cut my cost to £15.99 for the next year, but I have to drop down to 512K. This won't really affect my surfing speed, just my downloads, but I am not really in any hurry !!
Confused now as to what to do. I realise that for £15.99 with Tiscali I could get faster speeds but I would have to go through the hassle of waiting for a new modem to arrive and getting a new account up and running. Plus they are capped, and the person at AOL call centre put something into my head, and I don't know if it is true or not. They said that to be careful of capped internet. I told them I did very little music downloading etc. I was then told that EVERY page you download, be it email with/without attachments, checkign AVFORUMS, checking BBC, checking your bank account, uses up your monthly allowance. Is this true? I assumed it was only if you actually downloaded files such as films, music etc that you saved to your hard drive.
Any advice appreciated as to stay or leave.
