Yes

No.

If you migrate from another provider, AFAIK you are not bound to a 12
months contract.

You certainly don't if you use a router.

I'm looking to migrate from Plusnet
How about newsgroups any good?
It states Unlimited time online, unlimited downloads,
does that mean I can get p2p ?

No newsgroups on AOL. You need a third party newsserver such as GigaNews.

Absolutely, and the optional McAfee Personal Firewall which comes free with
AOL broadband works perfectly with every p2p application I've used so far.

You will need to enter the following details:

Enter your email address in full: e.g. (E-Mail Removed)

Enter the 'Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server': as follows:
imap.uk.aol.com

Enter the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:' as follows: smtp.uk.aol.com

I did exactly the same

>How about newsgroups any good?

Not provided. Get them from claranet: Claranews for 30 GBP/year

>It states Unlimited time online, unlimited downloads,

Absolutely unlimited. They make money by people watching adverts on
their software. If it was limited they could not.

>does that mean I can get p2p ?

Probably yes.

I'm sending you an email to what I believe is your email address for
some interesting information about migration. Do I need to remove ©¿©¬
as well?
