Comments on: BT/Yahoo? Slow Email? http://www.chromosphere.co.uk/2008/02/19/btyahoo-slow-email/ Graeme Coates Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:54:01 +0000 hourly 1 By: Graeme Coates http://www.chromosphere.co.uk/2008/02/19/btyahoo-slow-email/comment-page-1/#comment-49225 Graeme Coates Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:49:11 +0000 http://www.chromosphere.co.uk/2008/02/19/btyahoo-slow-email/#comment-49225 That's the first I've heard of this - do you have a source or link to that information? Regarding what to do as a BT subscriber - well, I prefer to keep my email and Internet access as two separate entities (so you can change broadband provider without the hassle of changing mail address). If you don't mind biting the bullet of changing address once, you could migrate to using another mail provider. One of these alternatives includes Tuffmail (who are excellent). Gmail is a possible free service you might consider (and in both cases you can use your own domain name if you use a Google Apps account). Your broadband access is likely to be almost the same (though with a little speed difference) between most ADSL providers - it all goes over BT hardware from your house to the exchange. Changing provider to change mail isn't absolutely required (and is possibly more of a pain than just getting a standalone mail account).

I for one should not be sorry, since recently I have had several reports that e-mails have been sent but not been received. What do you recommend for the thousand of users like myself who enlisted with BT Yahoo. Practical suggestions would be welcome as to how to change to a reliable provider - given that I have a contract with BT broadband. I understand that BT is considering severing its links with Yahoo.
