You pay a little more but get fasters speeds and still keep your static ip.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20187282 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:13:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20186180 Zookeeper : Gmail also supports smtp & pop, as does Lavabit.

Fastmail & AIM (the free AOL mail)support IMAP.

If you could get through a little German, GMX.net, is a great provider that's been around for years, that provides free pop & smtp along with 1 Gig of storage. Gmail, I believe, gives you more than 6 Gigs.

However, I just noticed that gmail supports IMAP mail so maybe I'll try that. Not sure if any of the other services offers it for free.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20169160 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 11:55:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20163751 submrge : why people don't use yahoo, gmail etc for email is beyond me. i've had the same yahoo email address for 10 yrs. and i've changed isp's 3 times.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20163751 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:39:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20161698 anon : Comcast wants you to have an @comcast email address, not @patmedia. It's free advertising for them to have their name in your email address. Years ago Comcast took over E. Brunswick and they got 3 days notice that their email was changing according to my friend who lives there. Hopefully today email is more engrained and they realize it will take more than 3 days to change my email at the hundreds of places that have it. And no I'm not going to change it to @comcast, I've got my own domain now so I'm not linked to my ISP.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20161698 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:17:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20148120 anon : comcast tivo is barely available (boston only) in its existing systems, what makes u think it will be available in patmedia's system anytime soon. you probably won't even see a big lineup revamp for a while.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20148120 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:11:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20146697 cryptmagic : You will probably lose your email address soon, honestly why would you tie yourself to your cable provider for email?
You should get yourself a gmail account.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20146697 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:49:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20143688 anon : Does anyone know what will happen to our "@patmedia.net" email addresses?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20143688 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 22:36:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20141597 alokkola : I wonder if we will get the Comcast Tivo DVR option?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20141597 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:33:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20122748 cryptmagic : Same here i hope fios comes to far hills, i will switch my high speed internet as soon as verizon is offering it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20122748 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 21:29:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20112088 DaveNJ : add my name to the future fios list. The prices just went up again. So now i am just waiting for the verizon people to knock on my door.

I am also concerned about having the presence of a big cable company in the home, but I'm also looking forward to FIOS as competition (sometime during my lifetime) :huh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20107195 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:38:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20102570 mdr5 : :mad: :( :huh:
