No, Comcast is the worst, by far! (:-))
It's impossible for Rose to reach her case and cover customers
that are Comcast subscribers. This is why you see an occasional
"broadcast" message from her to a list member. From the customer's
viewpoint it just looks like she's not responded to a request, and that's
"bad for business". (;-)
We have a number of Comcast subscribers on our personal mailing
list and their messages always bounce.
Additionally ... for some ... an alternate ISP simply doesn't exist
and the only alternative is a dial-up ISP.

I wonder if those who are stuck with Comcast or simply persist in
using it could get *all* their mail by using a yahoo or gmail account.
Is it just mail to the comcast email addresses they block or do they
actually block traffic from other mail servers? Maybe someone in the
know could tell us. I use gmail through my Verizon ISP and it does
very nicely, with lots of features.
Certainly the web-based access to gmail or yahoo should work through
any ISP. Some ISPs, like PacBell..er SBC..er at&t DSL block port 25
(SMTP) outbound connections to servers other than their own (or
intercept them), to block spammers and worms, so if you want to use a
local client like Thunderbird, you might have issues. For gmail, at
least, that's simply worked-around by turning on SSL (a good idea
anyway), which uses port 465 instead.
