I'd settle for the English version.

Sorry; are you asking a question or making a statement?
Are you saying I'm with AOL (who told you I was with AOL?), or you are?
Are you asking if there's a disconnection fee to switch from AOL to Talk-Talk or from Talk-Talk to AOL?
This "i wont to cancel talk talk"; does that mean you want to cancel Talk-Talk, even though it appears you may be with AOL.

Really; it would be a lot easier to understand if your post made any sense whatsoever.

Let's assume you meant to say "I was told that if I'm with AOL there's a disconnection fee if I want to go with Talk-Talk".....
Did you ask AOL to cancel your service (which will involve a disconnection fee and a connection fee when you join Talk-Talk)?
Maybe you should ask AOL for a "MAC code", which allows you to "migrate" to Talk-Talk without a large disconnection or reconnection fee?

Also; are you aware AOL and Talk-Talk are actually the same company (both are owned by Carphone Warehouse) so if they're charging a disconnection fee because you want to switch from one brand of the same company to another, you might be better getting the heck out of their group and going with a decent ISP.
For example, BE and O2 (both owned by Telefonica) don't charge if you want to switch between the brands.

I think he wants to cancel.

Yes but " i going to be charged from aol a disconection fee to go with talk talk" implies he's currently with AOL, has asked to cancel (instead of migrate) and has been told there's a disconnection fee.
But; "i wont to cancel talk talk" (assuming he's used "wont" instead of "want" - probably he's gone through the English schooling system in the last decade or so) implies he wants to cancel Talk-Talk.

Bang on LOL

I've changed it to read the "last decade or so" because I'm convinced the problem goes back to before the year 2000 (basically whenever SMS text equipped mobile phones became popular).

Or not! (Think about it).

It isn't txt spk. It's just incoherent gibberish, as demonstrated by your questions as to what is meant.

Text speak is intelligible, just objectionable in any other context.

Oh God, don't start.
I don't do text speak (even in text messages).

Uh uh!

As I said, text speak is intelligible. That isn't, as even with full words it is gibberish. It has no meaning, therefore it is non-speak.

Let's see:

i was told that u r with aol so y am i going to be charged from aol a disconection fee to go with talk talk well i wont to cancel talk talk

I was told "you are with AOL"

so why am I going to be charged a disconnection fee by AOL to go to talk-talk?

Well, I want to cancel talk-talk!

I think my version is more intelligible (let's see the OP work that one out).

Well done. I think you, and the rest of the guys, have finally cracked the coded message.
But it raises an interesting question about disconnection: is it always the case nowadays that, when moving from one ISP family to another, a disconnection fee is automatically charged?

That's still nonsense.

1) The internal question doesn't give sufficient information about the situation to allow us to answer it.
2) The statement that he want to cancel TT is of no interst to anybody.

Why doesn't he just cancel TT?

He wants to.

It's very nice of him to let us know, but I think that's something he needs to talk to TT about rather than TBB.

But he's with AOL, so I can't see what TT can do anyway.

As we've been told that they're both the same company I would have thought they could sort it out. What is certain is that TBB can't do so.

It's very nice of him to let us know, but I think that's something he needs to talk to TT about rather than TBB.

Exactly.

It is possible he has ordered a package from TT then contacted AOL to give notice.

However everything we suggest as possible scenarios is just speculation, and if he wants to cancel a TT order that's up to him, as AEP says.

For heaven's sake please can we not have the 29th discussion of this?

It is not automatically charged!

A disconnection fee is not chargeable by Openreach if the published migration process is followed. (For one example of the many places where the BT policy has been quoted, see this post).

If BT do not raise a cease charge on the losing ISP then whether the ISP charges the customer is case-specific. If you want some cases then Search over All posts for the italicised term.

FWIW The poster that asked has 154 posts you have quite a number more!
You may have seen "29 discussions" on this but maybe the OP hasn't!

Just a thought...

Phone your ISP and ask.

I don't think the migration process applies to LLU though.
