Pretty crazy video on YouTube of a AOL customer attempting to cancel his AOL account.

Bet John really got promoted. That was a good AOL/ LOL.
Thanks Nathan. ;D

Ha, wow, AOL has given me some guff before, but never anything that bad. I once weaseled two free years out of AOL by trying to cancel my account.
-
lol hopefulyy not dail up
-
Oh my God... this isn't true. I refuse to believe it. Yet... I have to; I'm hearing...
-
dilbert believe it or not
-
lol hopefulyy not dail up
Dial-up is all we had around here until a year or two ago.
-
Dialup is all we could get until about 3 years ago in my
area.I have never used AOL.
-
noooooo dail-up as infected you alll you might still have traces of it in your systems (both comp and body)..... retreat.......
lol
J/k i had it for a while and sadly it was AOL
-
Actually, I still use dial-up and it's AOL. Broadband may be available in my area now, but I can't afford it.
-
oh i feel sorry for you my friend but you get what you can
-
Part of me really wants broadband, but I've been using my girlfriend's all week...if I had this at home, I think I'd go crazy. You have no idea how much time I spend watching music videos and downloading songs and games and all kinds of junk I can't do with my connection. I always thought I'd spend less time online because I could do things faster, but I think I'd spend way more time online. I just spent 30 minutes watching Weird Al videos, and I don't even like him all that much...
-
lol where at?
well maybe work into cable lol not too fast you might hurt yourself
-
I think it was at the Sony site. I'm not really sure. It started with Franz Ferdinand videos and then I went crazy.
And this is cable. Anything faster than this would be too much.

My Math teacher from last year wasnt the biggest fan of AOL, but really got them at this:
She would call to cancel
and they would offer her another free trial (90 days)
She would take it
and repeat after 90 days
If they didnt offer it, she would just switch her ISP.
(But then she got rid of it completely, and got HSI instead)
I remember when we tried to cancel, they offered us a free trial, and then they asked us the question we didnt know the answer to:
What is your password?

That's how I got two free years out of them. Heh.

That ferrari guy is such a fat troll, I bet he would even stay calm if they told him pepperoni pizza's were out of stock.
So he got someone fired? Way to go, the guy at the phone was obviously told to keep a customer on the line for as long as possible, I read someone mentioned '15 minutes'. Well, just spend 15 minutes chatting with the guy till he gives in.
Besides that, our fat friend gave the wrong reason he said it was 'no longer in use' yet AOL recorded 5xx hours of usage just last month. Sounds a bit dubious and I can imagine someone would inquire after that.
I saw some other a*****e who posted a video of a sleeping Comcast technician on the Internet, well let the guy sleep it off for an hour or so, wake him up and tell him it still isn't working but you'll keep quiet about it if he gets it working...
This leads me to believe that most newbies are complete pricks. First of all; one guy couldn't get his own cable to work. Which makes him a newbie in my eyes, then there's the fat guy who actually got AOL. Which makes him an even bigger newbie. So be careful of newbies!
-
Heh. Well regardless AOL and any other company should do nothing more than ask a customer why they're wanting to cancel so they can get an understanding of why customers are leaving and then cancel the account.
