[Gllug] AOL broadband through ntl - breakthrough

[Pip]

There actually was a piece of incredible stupidity associated with the
AOL connection. Unfortunately, it was mine.
I'd been using the user name typed into the AOL software. Of course,
the software adds "@aol.com" to the name before it submits it, and I hadn't.
There was the welcome sound of dropping pennies when I looked at the
link Ian had sent (thanks!) where it was shown that the user names had
@aol.com at the end, I tried it out in my chap/pap-secrets files, and
glory be! there was a connection.
Thanks to everyone who added to the clues.
