> Anyone that runs an ISP will attest to that. Our support desk will get at > least twice as > many phone calls for an email outage as a physical outage. Yes. Absolutely. Alot of our customers think their e-mail experiance IS their Internet. We've had customers leave service because of ALL aspects of e-mail service. NOT their dialup connection. That could be working perfectly fine and they are able to, with out issues, browse the web. The first thing they usually state is "my internet isn't working" or "I can't connect" or the classic is when they send you an e-mail from work telling you their internet isn't working and they don't even hit at who they are. > -----Original Message----- > From: R.
