I opened my browser, and proceeded to throw up. I honestly didn't think that they could do any worse than the old portal design. The design they had for their main site was OK, but now it just looks like shit. I don't like to swear too much on here, but I cannot think of a better word to use to describe this redesign. It is just pure and utter shit.
I have used my ISP's portal page as my home page ever since I got Internet access, and now WOW is forcing me to stop. I guess they just wanted the quality of their site to match the downhill slide their service is currently experiencing.
I wish I had 4 hands, so I could give WOW 4 thumbs down! |

Wow, the "After Hours" link is actually a link to porn! I thought you guys were just making fun of it because of the "Members/Sign Up" thing porn sites generally do. But no, they actually link to porn. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against porn. But I do not think that an ISP should be linking to it off of their portal page. That's scum bag behavior. |

Just got off the phone with WOW and they said that the parents or whoevers name the bill comes in must call in and complain about it. They told me that it was something that the marketing department came up with. |

It's porntastic! Pornolicious! Pornabulous! Heh.
Heh, I called too and asked what their web design team was smoking. I'm all for free speech on the internet, but, come on. The poor techie I spoke with didn't really know what to say, I think. I just told him that I think WOW's a great isp and would hate to see them go down under a volley of lawsuits from little Billy's soccer mom seeing him access porn from a site that WOW's people themselves set on internet browsers during installation.

Personally I think this re-design is better than the last, but not a whole lot better either. I fixed up the caption, since some people thought it was a joke about the porn, no joke, it's real, and I meant the link, not the..... never mind.  |

Yes, WOW has stooped to a new level. They now provide HDTV and high speed internet with porn on the side, great. The powers that be at WOW better think long and hard about keeping that link on the main page without requiring the user to sign into their primary account to see that link. I really wish WOW would just go back to the original black and orange design and focus on providing us customers with better tv and internet service by adding additional services to the account, and not keep playing extreme makeover on their website. |

ISP's usually provide porn blocking software... not a direct link to it on its portal. Makes me want to switch back to Comcast... it costs the same for faster internet... who knows.

HUH? What Comcast plans have you looked at? 3Mbps/256Kbps for $45.95 with modem rental and tv service, or 4Mbps/384Kbps for $57.95 with equipment rental and tv service. |

Well, it looks like WOW dropped the porn link. But the craptastic site is still up. 
If anyone here knows about web design, view the source for the portal page. You'll get a good laugh out of it. I don't know who WOW has doing their web design, but they'd be better off designing a personal site on GeoCities. |

I could get Digital Classic for 29.99 and 3/256 for 29.99, making 59.98 (promotional price)... $0.1 less than I pay for 2/300 and basic cable. Plus I get a real portal. Seems like a deal to me.
