How hard would it be for Comcast to allow an alias email address, so the old address still works? It seems like a no-brainer.
How would that work? Is Comcast going to get the Insight BB email domain? For email to work, the email domain must have an MX record pointing to the domain gateway mail server. Unless Comcast is getting full control of the Insight BB email domain, how would the DNS system discriminate between the Comcast gateway domain server and the Insight gateway domain server?

I have been using Gmail as my primary account, and that's the address I give out, but many of my friends never bothered to update their contacts, so I was still checking Adelphia/Comcast mail too. Only reason I noticed that the adelphia address stopped working is that my spam went down by 75%.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Usee-free-web-email-services-19921985 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 15:06:47 EDT Re: Usee free web email services http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Usee-free-web-email-services-19921706 said by ThrowDemsOut:

The sun coming up in the morning catches some people off guard. But other than 2 people in the story saying it might be inconvenient, I see no big Insight complaints like the BBR story claims.

And no complaints in the Comcast forum thread linked to in the above story either:
»Insight to Comcast Customer Transition, over here!
I know this is slightly off the path, but I went to Insight's local web site to check on package rates for my cable (current Insight customer) and the web site referred me to Comcast due to the transition.

I went to Comcast's web site and they would not give me information since I'm not their customer.

I wrote their customer service folks and asked about the circle they built and was assured that Comcast looks forward to serving me. No explanation, no clarification, no offer to help.

I am neither amazed that the sun rises in the same part of the sky each day nor surprised at the shift in providers. But, both companies seem to be a bit out of sync in the hand off for cable service so it isn't surprising that folks are being surprised at their "support" of other services as well.

IMHO

BTW, what's the problem with Verizon email? I've used it for years with no problems. Clean, basic Internet email with no spam filters. My email client has a spam filter, so I have full control of it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Usee-free-web-email-services-19921621 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 13:49:17 EDT Re: Usee free web email services http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Usee-free-web-email-services-19921205
There are close friends and entities that do have my Primary email addy. But that's not the real issue. The real issue is the Bad Rap that Comcast has for customer service, billing of customer owned equipment & the speed tiers/pricing that happens to fall in between Insights current. Pay More for less... Never mind the setup and other stuff one has to do not just with email... but through me bank (Online Bill Pay), Privacy...Oh boy...a whole lot more affiliates & affiliates affiliates. The misrepresentation about caps and traffic shaping. I hate dishonesty. Half truths are whole lies.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Usee-free-web-email-services-19921205 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 12:30:14 EDT Re: Usee free web email services http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Usee-free-web-email-services-19921182 said by Anonymous:

The date for the switch hasn’t been announced yet but residents anticipating the problem are not pleased.

The change may be catching some customers off guard.

“I didn’t know that was going to happen,” said Lance Adams of Springfield, an Insight broadband customer. “I would rather it not happen.”

Adams said his family has had to change e-mail addresses before, when they switched from dial-up to broadband access, and found the process inconvenient.

Cheryl Wise of Springfield said she knew Comcast had bought the Insight systems but hadn’t thought about a change in e-mail address.

“It is probably going to be inconvenient, but it’s something that can be dealt with,” she said.

There is not a man in the country that can't make a living for himself and family. But he can't make a living for them AND his government, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people.
