[edit] Merge proposal

The page AOL Broadband was created on 16 July 2009. It consists of one sentence ("AOL Broadband is a UK internet service provider, which is part of the TalkTalk Group.") and cites no sources. It does not seem to merit its own page, and its content could easily be included at AOL. Cnilep (talk) 17:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

AOL (a United States company) and AOL Broadband (a United Kingdom company, owned by The Carphone Warehouse) are two entirely different companies, albeit with similar names. To merge AOL with AOL Broadband would be no different from merging Austria with Australia. Qwerta369 (talk) 23:44, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Wouldn't a more apt comparison be "merging BP with BP Canada"? When I search for "AOL Broadband" using Google, the first hit (actually, all of the first ten hits) is to the US company, but that may be due to the fact that I have a North American IP address. Cnilep (talk) 22:05, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Not really, because BP and BP Canada may have the same parent company. AOL and AOL Broadband are entirely separate. The only similarity is the name. It would be very inappropriate, therefore, to merge an article on two companies, simply because their names are similar. I agree that AOL Broadband is a very short article and is in desperate need of expansion.Qwerta369 (talk) 09:21, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Have you actually checked, AOL Broadband uses AOL's logo - http://www.aolbroadband.co.uk/ how can they be entirely different companies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.161.133.225 (talk) 14:56, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

AOL Broadband uses AOL's logo under a licence agreement. Once again, the two companies remain totally seperate. Qwerta369 (talk) 17:36, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

What I would do is take bits of this article that has something to do broadband (internet) and put it in AOL BROADBAND. Bo98 (talk) 19:17, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dear AOL campaign

It should be noted that the referenced "hundrets" of signatures in the article do not reflect the 45'837 signatures present on DearAOL.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.161.133.225 (talk) 14:58, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Needs a complete rewrite

This page is currently a hodgepodge of different concepts and is largely being used as a soapbox; it needs to be rewritten entirely, and probably split up into separate articles on the company and the main AOL client software (which is, ridiculously, almost unmentioned right now). Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:12, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] AOL is not "America Online"

AOL changed its name from America Online over 3 years ago. AOL, LLC is the OFFICIAL name and its now a LLC company.

I already changed it, but it got reverted back. I can't believe it has went unnoticed this long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Micwa (talk • contribs) 04:30, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
