Wasn't there some problems with AoL that meant that they were not compatible with Linux based OS's?
Anyhow, I agree with Rob about steering clear of Talk Talk unless you want to tie yourself into a, still?, crap Customer Services and a long contract.

Speaking as an EX-AOL customer, I wouldn't do it. When I had AOL is was god damn awful, even worse when Talktalk took over. I'd NEVER take out anything more than a 3 month contract for any ISP now. Personally I think you'd be better off looking at someone like UKFSN (www.ukfsn.org). They are resellers for Enta (I'm with another Enta reseller - Vivaciti) prices are from about £16 a month but they have 30 day contracts and great support.
