Default What's up with AOL?

Hi, since yesterday when logging into AOL I get the following message for their front page and any other internet site:-

Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

If you have visited this page previously and you want to view what has been stored on your computer, click File, and then click Work Offline.

For information about offline browsing with Internet Explorer, click the Help menu, and then click Contents and Index.


Anyone know what is wrong? I thought it may be my PC so I've done various clear-ups, scan disks and virus checks but got nothing..

I'm now temporarily using Internet Explorer to surf the web with AOL as the host in the background.

Nick

I just sacked off AOL after they failed to get my broadband into my new house 2 months after requesting. Plus they could not get my xbox to work via the router.
