America Online agreed to pay $1.25 million to the state of New York and reform its customer service procedures

AOL customer service representatives would either ignore requests, or make it unduly difficult, to cancel their service

Sounds like the online adult industry in the late '90s

For sure. If anything now it's the opposite, in the adult sector it's far TOO easy to cancel now compared to mainstream accepted policies.

AOL is fucking scum

Pete-KT · 08-24-2005, 06:02 PM

crockett · 08-24-2005, 06:04 PM

People think that AOL is the internet. It is amazing.

tony286 · 08-24-2005, 08:03 PM

EviLGuY · 08-24-2005, 09:02 PM

1.25 lousy million? Yeah that'll hurt em and their shitty billing practices that probably bring in what 100 million a month.

aico · 08-24-2005, 09:10 PM

Fuck the hard to cancel problem, how about the fact that you can never get that shit off your computer once it's on there? Need to see a law suit for that bullshit too.

High Quality · 08-24-2005, 10:29 PM

Sounds good. I had aol once way bakc in the day. Horrible service. WHen I called in to cancel it was like they'd do anything to keep me on, even offer me another 45 days free.
