I'm trying to work of if describeing an ISP as simular to AOL would
constitute lible.
There is nothing to install
for internet access, it's all built into Windows (I don't believe AOL
supports other OS's) - you just have to run the "internet connection
wizard" - the CD's are purely to get the ISPs name in the title bar of
internet explorer, they don't do anything else.
If only that were so. They instill a complete browser shell over IE.
And it's definately no
more available than other ISPs - availability is dependant on your
phone line, not your ISP.
Not exaclty not all ISPs offer all their services in all areas.
I can't judge for handholding, as I've never
needed to phone an ISP for help, so it's possible you've got a point
there.
While their customer service is probably better than NTL (not hard)
that isn't quite what a meant. AOL gives people who want it a sort of
cordened off area of the internet with nothing more dangerious than
AOL regulars and certainly nothings as freaky as say 4chan.
