ISP Email Solution

Never use the ISP Email solution. There are plenty of free email providers to choose from; Google, Yahoo!, MSN/Live/Hotmail, any many many more.

Why do people still rely on their ISPs email! Especially knowing that they're being sold and still keep the old domain up until the point where now they're having problems.

It's like Fairpoint was keeping the domain-like Elink does when they used to buy customers.

If you don't want a free email provider why not spend the $10 a year get some dirt cheap hosting and use your own domain. Never ever worry.

because alot of websites require and isp based email address for verification of who you are or your age. Because anyone can get a free yahoo, hotmail, ect. act. even spammer and scammers.

That's pretty dumb of those websites. Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo are mainstream email providers and should be recognized as such by other websites.

Gmail works just like an ISP email now. It is even accepted by eBay as an email address that they do not require anything else for free

But still why can't your purchase a domain and have your own email address.

Just another excuse to use the ISP email and complain when it doesn't work.

well in Columbus Insight has RR email addresses. if Insight changes their ISP you'd be out of your Insight address since they're owned by RoadRunner.

It sucks to use your ISP's email address huh? Never know if they're ever gonna change and lose that address.

easy they don't have to manage the Columbus network. RoadRunner does.

I think more likely is that you might move sometime in your lifetime to an area not covered by Insight. I've had my yahoo email address since the mid-90's and never had a problem.
