Re: Verizon with MSN Premium/Yahoo/AOL/Live - which one's best?

I agree. I too am an MSN Premium user technically. The only reason I had it was because I was already an MSN dial-up user when I got DSL and it migrated. Never used a single one of the "premium" features. Skip them all so you don't ever have to worry about a lost address (other than the verizon.net one) if you ever cancel the DSL.

Re: Verizon with MSN Premium/Yahoo/AOL/Live - which one's best?

I remember the free MLB season pass with MSN Premium...that was awesome for the 1 year they had it.

These services are beneficial if they let you upgrade your existing free Hotmail/Yahoo/AOL accounts to the paid versions (or take existing paid version and make them free). MSN Premium was great for that reason. At the time, that meant more storage space, higher attachment limit, no expiration from inactivity, a superior junk-mail filter, and a free license to McAfee Antivirus and firewall products. And you don't lose your Hotmail e-mail accounts if you cancel Verizon...it just converts to the free version.

I'm still interested if getting "Verizon with Yahoo" lets you convert free Yahoo e-mail accounts to the paid version. From the description, it sounds like you use your verizon.net e-mail addresses with a Yahoo frontend.

And the AOL offering...is it basically like the "bring your own broadband" version of AOL in which it allows use of the AOL Browser with all of your AOL e-mail accounts? Yes, I hate AOL software too...but I have a friend who clings onto it for dear life and getting her to switch did not go well.
