I am looking in changing my internet provider from Comcast to AT&T. Because Comcast is making me pay almost 70 dollars for my internet service. AT&T is asking 35 for this, let me know if this is a good deal. I have a laptop and play games online.

AT&T: Gives you all the benefits and unique customization at speeds much faster than Dial-up! Enjoy virtually unlimited online photo storage, up to 10 additional email accounts, pop-up blocker, and much more.

IP Address: 1 Dynamic IP
Downstream Speed: Up to 1.5 Mbps
Upstream Speed: Up to 384 Kbps

Up to 25x faster than dial-up with downstream speed up to 1.5 Mbps. No voice line or term commitment required. Plus, enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi access at thousands of hotspots nationwide, including U.S. company-operated Starbucks locations equipped with a hotspot.

This Internet product is a customizable service that allows you to enjoy online photo and video storage, up to 10 additional email accounts, pop-up blocker, and more at speeds much faster than Dial-up.

This product is for customers who don’t have AT&T local phone service.
Well…they don’t have any deals since I don’t have it with cable TV or phone. With basic Cable and Internet was 69…which I would end up paying 75 or so dollars. Either way I will keep paying in the range of 60 to 70 dollars.

I have had my internet service for maybe 3 months and recently opened a bank account (month maybe). There were some unauthorized charges on my account and I got a call from the bank and I filed a claim to dispute the charges. The next day I get a police officer at my door saying someone with an email address linked to mine emailed for help or something. I told them no they have the wrong information or address. I finished all of the paperwork with the bank today and now 2 detectives come to my door saying this person is still sending emails and it is somehow connected to my isp.

The times these emails were sent I was not home and other bank transactions show that. So how is this possible?

I did some research on Evil twins which trick wireless users into connecting a laptop or PDA to a tainted hotspot by posing as a legitimate wi-fi provider. Once you connect to their wireless network, the evil twins can watch your online activities and steal your confidential information.

Is this a possible answer to what is going on?

The detective is telling me I will go to jail for filing the claim but I feel like I have no choice since they aren’t listening to me and I know I am not the one doing these things. Any advice on what could be going on?

This person or people has all together opened a pay pal account with an email, my bank account number and routing number, and address. All which are found on a voided check.

They have used this service with my name and address information to talk with this Doctor asking for help who is in turn calling the police to MY house. I am so confused!!!!

Somehow I got on AOL and thought I was upgrading my AIM instant messenger. Somehow I deleted the AIM Instant Messenger. Now I can’t get my AIM messenger back. I tried removing AOL and the computer tells me I do not have any versions of AOL installed. But I cannot get my AIM messenger back except thru AOL and I understand that they will bill me eventually for their services. I have tried downloading the AIM messenger but it always asks for a screen name and password. I do not remember the original screen name and password and to get AOL to give you the password it looks like I would have to go to AOL as my internet provider. I have a Dell computer–Windows XP. I am 79 years old and really do not understand what is going on as I only use the computer for playing Literati and emails. Please won’t someone help me? If you have an email address for AOL, please send it so that I can notify them that I do not want their internet service. Thanks so much. hcooper547@hotmail.com

i was with aol to provide my internet service I moved house in October 2008 the telephone was disconneted to my horror my husband just mentioned when I complained about aol free email
he said cancel subsciption from his account which was being taken each month since
oct 2008 he had not realised I no longer used them as a provider .

When I asked aol why they were still claiming money they said even though they had the a to call to cancel I agreed to have one month free to see if I would need the service even though I had explained the new house already had a provider that because I did not ring again (what for I had cancelled) they provided me with a service.
even agreeing I had no usage on the account
service to a house that was sold with no telephone (I think not) and that I am liable for the service cost for the last 15 months.

this is an extract of mail from aol
You were then in contact on the 23rd of October, as you had recieved an email about the package change, the cancellations agent you were speaking to advised you of the free month, and the fact you were not in contract, and advised you to get in contact with us to activate your broadband services once you were live at your new address.

any suggestion please
