Re: Verizon with MSN Premium/Yahoo/AOL/Live - which one's best?
"None of the above." Doesn't Verizon offer DSL service without the partners? If so, that is the way to go.
I seriously regret having migrated my SBC DSL to, "SBC Yahoo! DSL Service". I had the option not to, and should have opted not to. Can't be undone, now; and new signups for AT&T DSL are automatically co-branded "at&t Yahoo! HSI" accounts. No way out.

All 'pacbell.net' (my email domain) email has to be picked up through 'pop.att.yahoo.com'. They actually prefer that we also use 'smtp.att.yahoo.com'; but Yahoo! doesn't want us using their server as a "Smarthost". There is actually no current prohibition against running an MTA in the 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' AUP/TOS, but if one does so, using the ISP server as a "Smarthost" is essential. Yahoo! requires each sender email address, which is not the same as the one used to log in to the server, be "verified". The procedure is not onerous, but there is a limit of ten email addresses allowed, not associated with the accounts.
It has caused numerous problems for several customers. Anyway, because of that particular issue, I recommend against a Yahoo! co-branded account, if you can avoid it.
