Webmail now has adverts?

What is this crap? Now Yahoo/Rogers webmail has inline adverts all over the bloody page...

It simply says: "Recently, Rogers and Yahoo! jointly introduced advertising content to the Rogers Yahoo! Mail service."

This is brutal and as far as I can tell, just started overnight (between Nov.13 and Nov.14) since I use webmail every day.

Of course, 99% of the crappy ads are blocked by judicious entries in my hosts file, but the space on the screen occupied by the messages about the ad not appearing are a huge drag.

Re: Webmail now has adverts?

I agree with you totally

This is the reply I got

Advertising content is commonly included in other popular mail services
such as 'Hotmail' and 'Gmail'. Rogers and Yahoo! have jointly introduced
advertising content, to the Rogers Yahoo! Mail service.

HOTMAIL AND GMAIL IS FREE

We pay for yahoo e-mail services...

Re: Webmail now has adverts?

In the main webmail screen, say looking at inbox, you can click on a arrow icon to hide/unhide the advert that appears down the rightmost 25% or so of the screen, but as soon as you DO anything (like open an email or click on 'check mail' or the like) the advert once again encroaches on the screen.

This makes it beyond annoying (maybe Rogers should use that as their new marketing slogan).

first it was dropping everyone's speed by 2mbps ("to allow for network imporvements")

then it was dropping the free hosted web space

then it was dropping usenet ("because of child porn")

then it was throttling

then it was the download cap

now it's putting ads into our email

the slide down the slippery slope continues...

just add this new transgression to the list, which also includes web page injections, and 404 hijacks.

Re: Webmail now has adverts?

Wasn't there a similar thing when Rogers first dropped their own webhosting in favour of Geocities or something? They just slapped users on the free, ad infested service. I think after some bitching Rogers subscribers were upgraded to ad-free Geocities accounts.

That's only if you joined your Yahoo! mail account with your Rogers account when you created it, and even then, the Yahoo! account is recoverable.

I fear what else Rogers has in store for us.

dissappointed

@rogers.com

This rude and invasive advertising spam-move by Rogers demonstrates the systemic disregard Rogers has for its customers. They market the rogers-yahoo mail component as part of the service. It is false advertising for Rogers reps to tell us they only provide connectivity. They market a full service not-for-free internet service. It is amazing how much useful screen real estate that one needs to manage messages, has been unilaterally taken from the customer. After all, the customer pays for the screen area and Rogers has taken that space from us with no opportunity to turn it off. I need all of the space I have on the screen to be productive. Rogers reduction in my available work space takes away any reason to use the Rogers package over something like gmail. Now there is no reason to stay with Rogers and every reason to change.

Rogers Yahoo web mail now looks like circus, the ads refresh every time you click on anything. It's not only very obtrusive but it gives their mail product a feel of a cheap email account. I understand they want to make more money but this goes too far. I believe I am paying quite a premium for their High speed internet product, not to mention their frequent price hikes so they should keep it ad free or at minimum less irritating. Web mail is advertised as a part of their high-speed package.

Exactly the reason why I refuse to use any web-base email that supports ads.

For the past five years I have been using the web-base email service of Burntmail.com »https://burntmail.com It's wholly Canadian owned and operated based in Edmonton, Alberta and non ad-supported; A superior web-base email than Yahoo!, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail, etc., will ever hope to be. All of these are ad-supported and it's really annoying to see all these over-sized averts within the interface pages of your web-mail including tag-lines attached to outbound messages. Burntmail doesn't support any form of advertisement and its service is growing in popularity all the time.

In the new-mail version, there should be a little tab on the right side (left side of the ad) to hide it. It will be there next time you load the page up, but at least you can get it to move out of the way.

As IN4Mer has indicated, Webmail subscriber's are paying a premium fee to Rogers and therefore no advertisements should appear, whatsoever, within the interface pages of Rogers Yahoo! HiSpeed Webmail.

I agree with Sbrook, 'Time for major complaining.' However, if subscriber's choose to take no action, then a clear message is being sent to Rogers that subscriber's are satisfied with Rogers and Yahoo! inserting advertisements within the interface pages of premium subscriber's web mail.

Now is the time to take action by contacting one or all of the following, and make it clear that as a paid subscriber to Rogers Yahoo! you'll not tolerate advertisements of any kind within the interface pages of your premium subscription to Rogers web mail.

Jerry Yang
CEO and Chief Yahoo! - jerry@yahoo-inc.com

Roy J. Bostock
Chairman of the Board for Yahoo! Inc (Since January 2008) - bostock@yahoo-inc.com

Jane Haitsma
Customer Relations Executive Rogers Communications - jhaitsma@rci.rogers.com

Taanta Gupta - Executive Vice President, Rogers Communications - taanta.gupta@rci.rogers.com

Footnote: As well, let Rogers and Yahoo! know that you mean business with them; forward a copy of your email off to the media (include a snap shot) to the Toronto Star Editorial Department - city@thestar.ca , or CTV Online News -newsonline@ctv.ca The Star and CTV are always looking for news like this.

Rogers Webmail now has adverts?

Right! A premium subscriber to Rogers whose paying $54.95 a month for Hispeed Internet, who chooses to use Rogers Webmail has to content with advertisements in the interface pages of their webmail. Think again!

This argument that Rogers is giving that 'Advertising content is commonly included in other popular mail services such as Hotmail and Gmail' is a bull shit. Premium subscriber's to Gmail, Yahoo, Windows Live Hotmail who pay a premium yearly fee see no advertisements. Free subscriber's, yes, see advertisements. Premium subscriber's to Rogers are well within their right to complain.

Footnote: It's bad enough that Rogers is intercepting other company's webpages and inserting banner ads alerting their subscriber's when they've reached 75% of their allotted bandwidth usage. And now to shove avertisements upon their premium subscriber's by inserting advertisements in premiums subscriber's webmail. Enough is enough of allowing Rogers to dominate their premium subscriber's.

Yes!!! Everyone get Firefox then get the add-ons Adblock Plus. For the next step also get Greasemonkey+Platypus toolbar. And if you want to go one more also get NoScript. Spend few minutes learning these and you will never see ads on the internet again. Even just using adblock will get rid of most of them.

When the kids starting going off to post secondary school, I wanted a web presence for pages and mail that didn't require them to change everytime they moved. I also found a good Canadian company (Mecca) that offers www.eHosting.ca. Mind you instead of US$15/yr for Burntmail this one is CA$4/mth. It's a great reliable service with an excellent SPAM filter. Works behind either Rogers or Bells Firewall for using mail clients like Express or Thunderbird.

What I wish is that ISP's were required to break out web and mail services separately and only offer the IP address. That would allow other vendors to offer value added services. Mind you, I can see the ISP's pricing IP service the same as they charge today.

Re: Rogers Webmail now has adverts?

I was soooooooooooo infuriated by these ads. I installed a greasemonkey script and that took care of them on one computer, but I check my email in lots of places.

So long story short... I purchased a Yahoo Pro account dor $20USD per year.

Then I looked at my Rogers bill and cancelled everything I deemed non essential. I cut my bill in half by cancelling extra chanels and my cell phone. I also downgraded to express.

So instead of making tiny bits of money on ads Rogers has now lost half my business.

If everyone does the same we will hit them in the pocketbook and they will reverse their decision quickly.

JOIN IN AND LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, CALL THEM TO CANCEL SOME SERVICES AND MAKE SURE THE PERSON ON THE LINE UNDERSTANDS WHY YOU DID IT.

Lets keep track who else cancels some or all services. Cut and paste the following and keep adding your name.

1. Kamwest - cut rogers bill in half
2. Next Name

Wow, was I shocked when I too woke up in the morning to find my email frames surrounded by flashing and moving ads. First thing I did was click on the link to tell me more about the change....very informing.

I did send a complaint through a webform to Rogers but have recieved no reply.

I just sent this email...let you know what I hear:

_______________________
Ms. Haistma:

I'm writing you to express my dissatisfaction with recent changes that Rogers has made to their user paid email service.

During the overnight hours of November 13th a change was introduced, without notice, that inserted advertisements in the side and bottom panels of the users of Rogers/Yahoo webmail.

My disappointment arises from 2 issues:

1. The lack of notice that this change was going to occur to the users of this service. With a Project Management background in IT, had I done the same thing in my organization, my users would have absolutely called for a public execution.

2. The principle that because I pay for my monthly service from Rogers, and email capability is inclusive in that purchased service, I should not be visually assaulted by advertisements that I cannot control or turn off. One of the prime reasons I have chosen Rogers as my service provider is the absence of advertising contained within your service. It's something that I expect from a service that I have procured.

To date there has been absolutely zero communication from Rogers with respect to this change. Keeping users informed is something I have come to expect from Rogers, and I hope this tradition continues by correcting this slight change in course.

Best Regards.

Agreed - this is the most annoying thing ever.
I am in webmail all day and losing 1/8 of screen real estate EVERY click is really annoying. I can't go to a single system mail client because with kids I never know which computer is available through the day. 5 minutes in my webmail and I'm ready to punch my screen.

- Switching to another webmail service or getting my own hosting could be done but time consuming and I thought I was already paying money for service that included email without spam - which is what this is isn't it ? Unwanted advertising material literally in your Inbox.

Good point on the bandwidth too, does this count ? If so then shouldn't it get knocked off our usage ?

I'll open a new case every day or 3 - 4 times a day and switch back to classic for now.

EDIT In Classic mail you still get the ads but they are along the top and not as intrusive, a 1/8 scroll sends them up. You cans also start blocking 'blanking' them with various tools.

Ugh... I noticed this yesterday when I logged in to check my mail. Like many others on here I'm upset because, ostensibly, part of the (ever increasing, I might add) money I'm paying for my internet is going towards these little value-added services like webmail. I would use a mail client, however it is kinda convenient being able to check my email from any computer.

What's really infuriating is that the ad keeps popping up whenever you switch messages, and it reloads the ad every time you do something in the client. It's distracting, and needling away at my bandwidth cap.

Living in Newfoundland, my only other option is Bell Aliant, which curiously enough has become available in my neighborhood recently. I just wish we had more options here for high-speed, like TekSavvy In my mind it's just switching from one greedy telecom that doesn't care about their customers to another.

A lot of things I sign up for are set up to use my Rogers email address, I think I will be switching to some ISP neutral mail provider like GMail full time soon, as to prevent any difficulty in changing my email address in the future, like say, when I change ISPs in frustration.

Good point. Excuse me for your saying this, but it warrants being said, as the shit hit the fan when Bell began throttling wholesale customers and customer's left in droves, so, too, the same treatment be given Rogers for this latest action. Every time a page is flipped and pop-up ads appears, it's exactly as Kwalish says, it eating away at your allotted bandwidth usage.

Now consider this, you did not agree to have Rogers and Yahoo! insert advertisements within the interface pages of your premium webmail, nor were you advise of such action. You're within your right to cancel your service without any recourse and move away from Rogers. Give Rogers the same treatment that was given to Bell.

Well gee, isn't that wonderful? It's just like that premium webmail except... Rogers is making money off me every time I view an email message via their advertising, and annoying the hell out of me with animated ads that won't go away, and using up some of that precious bandwidth they do so want us to conserve. Who exactly thought this was a good idea? It's certainly not making me feel any better about Rogers. In fact I would have to say that it's doing the exact opposite. It's almost as if they've finally become self-aware of the oligarchy they hold with the other telecom corporations in Canada and figured they could stop hiding their contempt for their customers now.

I don't suppose anyone knows of any broadband ISPs in St. John's that aren't Bell Aliant or Rogers? Probably not, but hey, might as well ask.

Approached him on the topic of why Rogers has taken to plastering subscriber's inbox with adverts. His reply, Because they can. And it's a great marketing opportunity for Rogers. Because a few people are complaining doesn't mean that Rogers is going to bring an end to an otherwise lucrative deal.

It's still got Rogers name; I pay my bill to Rogers; Rogers includes email as a part of the service, however it is branded. This is a part of what DPI is for ... to target the advertising.

So, the complaints still go to Rogers even if they deny that we pay for it. After all, Rogers Yahoo! give us Launchcast Plus as opposed to Launchcast.

Sent an email into Rogers about this tonight(see below), have to wait and see what their reply is:

Dear Sir or Madam;

I am emailing you with regards to the recent changes to the Rogers Yahoo Webmail.

I would like to express my utter disgust with the recent addition of advertising frames to the Rogers Yahoo! Webmail service. As a customer of Rogers Hi Speed Internet Extreme I am paying Rogers $54.95/month every month for this service. This is a premium service - and as a premium service subscriber I should not be subjected to any form of advertising. This is not a service such as Hotmail or GMail where the service is provided for free and relies on the advertising to be able to provide this service so I cannot fathom why this is now the case with Rogers Yahoo mail.

As a paying customer of this service, I would like a full explanation as to why this was implemented. The addition of these advertisements are of absolutely no value to me and I am not seeing anything returned to me as a result of the extra revenues being generated by this advertising.

Regards,

KamWest

Friends of mine in Brampton attempted to cancel their cells phones with Rogers and Rogers would allow them, saying they were on contract until December 2009. If they cancelled Rogers would charge them $200.00 for breaking the contract.

They should look at dropping their internet for another provider.

Re: Webmail now has adverts?

Ya, I broke-down last night and paid the 20 bucks to make the ads go away.

Right after I called Rogers Wireless and cancelled my cell phone which I had for 6 years at a cost of 34 bucks per month. I am going to go with PC Mobile pay as you go.

I was also thinking of getting Rogers Home Phone, but they can forget about that now.
