If I switch from dial-up to broadband, won’t I lose my primary email address?

Posted on September 18, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

The company which currently provides my internet connection (netzero) doesn’t offer broadband service in my community. If I were to use a local internet company to provide broadband service on my computer, wouldn’t I lose my netzero email address? Is there any means of keeping that address once I have switched to broadband?

I would not be willing to lose all my contacts in order to make the switch (and I do not keep an “address book” as I choose to type email addresses in individually each time I correspond).

Why can’t I download anything over 500k anymore?

Posted on July 20, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I’m having problems with my email recently–both Yahoo & Excite. For roughly a month now, I can’t download anything larger than 500k…smaller files download fine…using basic dial-up service. I can’t forward to my other email accounts successfully either. As an experiment, I went to the local library and used their high-speed connection and things worked fine. Therefore, I believe the problem lies in the dial-up speed. Why is this suddenly an issue? Is it Explorer, Microsoft or something else??

I can view the thumbnail & see a file size for the attachment (say 1.0MB), I can click on the ‘download & save’ option. The system spins forever and I finally get the option to view or save. Either way, I get a blank window (no image) that pops up. The file saved to the hard drive is 0k. What the bleep is going on?!?

I’ve disabled firewalls, allowed html, etc. and nothing I’ve tried at home is working. Someone help PLEASE! Changing to a high-speed connection is NOT an option.

Thanks!

What do I need to do to protect my email (SBC/Yahoo) when changing from ATT DSL to a telephone modem ISP?

Posted on July 3, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I chose to use my Yahoo email address when I subscribed to SBC DSL Express a year ago. Contract is up: I am too far away (ineligible) for DSL Pro; so, I am returning to the slower telephone service from Netzero.
Just want to make sure I do not lose anything during or after the move from ATT/Yahoo mail.
