Dazza290 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hi all, Im looking into getting Broadband for the new season, and wondered which are best? Is AOL any good for online racing, as im sure the 56k wasnt too good for it ? Others in the household seem to find this easiest to use and would prefer it to Wanadoo, BT etc Opinions would be appreciated Cheers Dazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunny78 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Freeserve/Wanadoo here, had it for year and half and no problems at all. I think I read somewhere that AOL wasnt to good for online racing (think it was on RSC) Just make sure you get unlimited broadband instead of the one with the limit. Cunny.

MichaelG - 38 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) Been with tiscali broadband for nearly 2 years now and had no problems, really good service. Got some really good deals on at the moment at a very good price!...http://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/broadban...code=ZZ-NL-11XY Wish the prices were like that when I ordered it! Don't get AOL, especially not the 7.0 version! Edited January 27, 2005 by MichaelG - 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete904ni Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 All AOL broadband is unlimited and for online racing it is spot on, the dial up was for nothing tho. I now have the 1mbit line and a router set up, u'd never know it was AOL!! you dont need to use the crappy resourse hungry browser any more either £17.99 a month for unlimited 256k u canny go wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
