Comcrap's email policies are evil. If you have them host your email, you are limited to something like 3-5 addresses. Never mind that you want all of those addresses to go into 1 account -- they want to charge you per/address (regardless of whether or not they all funnel into 1 account).
My ISP (telefonica) I understand has dropped email support. Our old addresses keep working, but you can not obtain new ones. New clients get none. I think they tell you to obtain one at gmail instead.
They do the same with my "included" website -- they don't let me edit via HTML but only via their site builder -- so they can divide your website into separate pages -- then they do the same thing there as with email -- you have to pay extra for more than 5 pages. So lame!
At the beginning, my ISP wanted to charge per port... At some point, they also wanted to charge per email sent. And extra if they included attachments. Interestingly, also at the beginning they handed out fixed IPs for everyone. Then they decided to improve and offer a new service: dynamic IP! No kidding, they told clients that it was an improvement over fixed IPs. I was told of a conversation with a high ranking staff, and he was very surprised when told that people used internet to connect computers to one another, and do something else than see webs. And he was unable to comprehend that the usefulness of Internet decreased with non fixed IPs, because then people could not connect to one another without using intermediaries. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
