With the free AOL there is no updates or anything else except mail. I just may format the hard drive and start over with dial-up. Ralphael, the OLD one I've got Verizon FiOS and am quite satisfied with it but I have stayed away from the specific software that Verizon offered me. I have been using Firefox as a browser and Thunderbird as an e-mail client for some time and been happy with both. And I stay as far away as possible from AOL. Just my two cents worth... But! .02 worth listening to. |

What has dial up, and broadband have to do with your problems with your (presumed) "email client" I've asked him that several times. :^P Stay with your broadband, which seems to me to be common sense, just hunt around for a decent "email client" that is, an email/news interface that you are comfortable with, My nerdy son seems to adore Mozilla Firefox, whilst I remain loyal to Outlook Express. Good advice - he's heard it several times. Once you have done that, email me offlist, and I'll give you a free News reader source server, and you'll be a happy camper. But, he won't change. He's the "old One", remember? Back to dial up? no way Jose. Ahhhh... the good old days. Yeah, and I sti;l use floppies. The CD-R and CD-RW sux big time. RtOo |

I don't understand the problem either, I just know that Verizon is much harder and takes twice as long as the old dial up and AOL. At present I do not have OE, IE or AOL is a usable fashon. I'm working on it. RtOo Did Verizon have you install some program? OTW it would be a problem with your termination of AOL, a noted 'hook' installer (guarantees -=they're=- the 'default' and usually has incomplete removal. IF you're running both - bad idea! If you've terminated AOL 'service', then most likely your messages are gone. 'Broadband' never guarantees any actual speed, however, it never should be worse than a very good dial-up. Further, he may have his anti-virus on realtime, which slows the PC down about 30% or more...- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Could very well be and I suspect the Firewall may be doing some blocking of its own.

They work perfectly and were not a problem to do imports of address books or bookmarks either.

I did not have problems when I had dial-up and paid for AOL. I was happy without Broadband and do not see why it excites prople. Been there, done that, not happily. TB, CEO and owner of Frontier.net suggested I try them. They do not service my area. RtOo |

Speed (30 times faster, or more). I like pictures, including those of stamps. (But yes, dial-up was ok for email and normal small newsgroup posts.) My daughter watches instructional videos as part of her schooling. 2. Freeing the phone line for its original use as voice communication device ;-). With three of us here, someone is online on and off all day. But one person with restricted periods of online time would be different. tjr |

I have just done it again and it booted up. With computing I have come to expect different results from doing the exact same thing. Douglas |
