| 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). | |

| 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. | |

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.

2 edits | 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. | |

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. | |

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.

| 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. | |

1 edit | 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. | |

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.

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.
