AOL Broadband is a part of the Carphone Warehouse group which also owns TalkTalk broadband provider. The acquisition which took place in 2006 helped the Carphone Warehouse to expand its LLU network across UK. The Carphone Warehouse is currently the largest local looped bundled service provider thanks to the extensive network of TalkTalk and AOL.
AOL UK which is a subsidiary of AOL (America Online) Europe offers a wide range of services that include news, music, shopping, sport, travel, video etc. AOL broadband was launched in 2002. The next few years saw AOL unbundling many exchanges across UK and this process not only helped the ISP to cater various needs of broadband customers but also to provide cheaper broadband services to those who are on its network.
Last year, AOL revamped its packages with significant features like wireless broadband support and parental control software. To promote its products, AOL announced a free laptop or a free PlayStation 3 for the new customers who sign up to its Wireless Plus package for eighteen month contract.
