Re: Why Switch Addresses? You mean comcast.net, not comcast.com
Comcast.com email addy's are for employees of Comcast. Comcast.net are for HSI customers. |

| said by RARPSL:Picky - Picky. Why not answer the question? The answer is really quite simple. When you have one domain that forwards to another the original domain (in this case insightbb.com) takes the bandwidth hit for receiving that message, the storage hit for the message landing on their server and then the outbound bandwidth hit to forward it to user@comcast.net AND they would have to provide support staff for those times that things just don't work right on their end.
Who pays for that? Insight? Comcast? You? You might think that email is a minor part of the bandwidth pie each month and it actually is until you are covering the above costs for customers that are no longer paying you money. Insight would say no as you are no longer paying them. Comcast would say no because they already have their own email infrastructure in place. You would say no because you are already paying Comcast for email service.
Regardless of how minor these expenses would be for Insight they are still a for profit company and eating these types of charges tend to not make investors happy when there is no return anywhere along the way. Sign up for Gmail, Yahoo Mail or something similar. It really is the only way to minimize the risk of your email address having to change in the future. |
