I wonder if the service will improve and will we need to get new phone books.


CenturyLink

Great, does this mean my stinking email address will change again?

That's exactly what I was thinking.

The good news is that maybe the free webspace they provide will not force you to use Embarq's lame Sitemaker software as the only way to use their webspace. At least Sprint allowed ftp.

$10 a year gets your own domain and free email that you never have to change unless you really want too. That is how to avoid that issue.

Or you can get gmail or hotmail for $0 a year and check it from any provider/location. ;-)

So Sprint had such terrible ratings of customer service that their name changed to Embarq (though they may say differently), and now Embarq has continued to maintain that crappy level of service, that they hope another name change will change people's perception? Crappy customer service is crappy customer service, regardless of the name on the sign.

But that is without your own domain and you are once again thinking that gmail or hotmail will never go away.

CenturyTel bought them out and I guess felt that the Embarq name was of little value. I see some ads for CenturyTel up in Dothan. Seems like they have really cheap DSL.

If so, then I will change it, but since it's worked for over a decade.............. and moved around 3 states and 2 continents I think it works just fine right now!

I don't pay anything and I can check my email anywhere there is internet. Hard to beat that system!

I totally agree. That is why google handles the email on all of my domains. I buy the domain for 10 a year and they do the mail for free. And that is how you keep from having to EVER change your email address.
