Broadband operator AOL has unveiled a new homepage designed to offer users easy access to all their online applications.

Through the group's new portal, browsers can log-on to a variety of other services directly, including hotmail email accounts and social network profiles such as Facebook and MySpace.

The beta launch of the new look front-end follows successful trialling in the US that saw the number of minutes spent on the website by users rise by 26 per cent year-on-year.

Dana Dunne, Chief Executive of AOL Europe, said: "As the web has become more fragmented, consumers want choice and relevance in their web experience.

"The reinvented homepage offers a convenient, one-stop destination where users can access everything they love on the web within just a few clicks."

Earlier this month, AOL launched Where It's At, an application that provides users with information on various pop culture landmarks throughout the world.

    like the man said it all went wrong when carphone warehouse got its hands on aol. The service team is a joke, half the time you cannot understand what they are saying because of their poor command of English.

    I have been having internet access problems for a couple of months now. I have tried emailing AOL-no response. I have tried live help- not running due to tech difficulties. I have tried telephoning them a number of times on several different numbers getting anything from constant ringing, constant engaged to pressing this number for one thing another number for something else and then being cut off before I can get to speak to anyone.

    I am now left with no option but to call in a computer engineer to check my computer and then cancel my AOL and go elsewhere, anywhere but AOL or one of the other two companies run by Carphone Warehouse!!!!!!

    Have been with aol for many years, but for a while now the service has been appalling. Everyone seemed to difer on how to solve problems. Eventually patience ran out and I changed providers. Would not recommend aol to anyone now.

    I also have been with AOL for many years, I am paying well over the odds of any other provider..I have been offline for 3 days, phoning all over the place, hardly able to understand the poor English spoken by the people who man these tech support lines, eating whilst speaking to you makes it even harder to bear...absolutely no help whatsoever, just a load of mumbled waffle..

    I ALSO WILL BE CANCELLING AND GOING ELSEWHERE....would never, never recommend aol, not even to someone I disliked....GOODBYE AOL...

    I have been with AOL for seven years. Having recently been too ill to use my computer, I continued to pay monthly only to have trouble with my password and have tried continually to get help.

    After months of no contact/replies from AOL, I now wonder who has been taking my payments and what for. Hey AOL! Is there anyone out there?
