Originally known as America Online, AOL first appeared in the UK in 1996, and thanks to an aggressive marketing campaign, and competitive pricing, AOL quickly grew a large base of users.

AOL broadband was actually the first broadband provider to offer customers a wireless router with all their broadband packages. The wireless router allows customers to simply, and easily, setup home networks with no wires and no fuss.

The AOL broadband wireless package also includes the Talk Evening & Weekends bundle which enables customers to enjoy inclusive calls to UK landlines during peak times.

Customers who sign up for AOL broadband services online will automatically receive one month free online. Along with the free wireless modem, AOL broadband also includes McAfee Personal Firewall software, along with a range of anti-virus software, spam filters, and parental control software.

There is no installation fee with the AOL broadband services.
