Finally getting cable internet access...
 

i can finally get cable in my area after years and years of waiting. i have had earthlink for over 5 years and i get a lot of important emails at the @earthlink address. will they forward the email to my new address when i cancel or will they just tell me i'm fucked since im not buying their service?

they will tell you your fucked

assholes

When you join they will tell everyone your new address, but when you quit them, they could give a damn, your dead to them.

Keep those address' cause you will have to do it yourself:mad:

I don't know about Earthlink, but when I went from mediaone to attbi they said I could keep my old mediaone email for like $30/mo

haha $30/month what a joke

I keep my original ISP account going not so much because of the e-mail (which has mostly become spam anyway), but because a lot of search engines and link lists still point to my original website at http://www.teleport.com/~afterglo, which was set up before owning domain names was universal. Despite all efforts, a lot of these search engines and link lists seemingly never respond to requests to update links. It just bounces traffic to the new site at http://www.afterglow-photo.com, and that is worth $20 a month. It might be worth the money for at least a few months for you to keep the Earthlink account going, informing those who write you of the change, until you're sure most of the correspondents have your new e-mail.
