I want to cancel my DSL service but retain access to my @bellsouth.net email account via Yahoo
When you stop paying for dsl or dial you will lose your @bellsouth.net email address
When you cancel the dsl you get free dial up access for 60 days which you can use to access the @bellsouth.net email account
After 60 days, you will be given the option to create a new Yahoo ID and transfer your data and preferences to it
