Re: Webmail now has adverts?

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.

go ahead, make my day...

Yes, I know the futility of complaining about ANYTHING to do with Rogers, but there might be therapeutic value...

I'm not saying it's right, I'm simply pointing out what the story will be when you complain.

Yup ... It's very frustrating. Makes me all the more glad I don't rely on freemail or ISP services.

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.

Correct.

Time for some major complaining.
