Switching ISP's

[TygerStrype]

I've been with ATT since they started offering dial-up internet.  Currently a Uverse subscriber (internet/voip)

 

I'm considering switching to cable (Comcast) and wondering if anyone else has done the same.

 

I guess my biggest fear is, do I get to keep my e-mail address's (main and sub accounts) when I switch.  ATT reps that I've spoken to fail to understand the questions.  I've got an @sbcglobal.net address, and they keep giving me info for @att.net e-mail addresses.

 

Only thing I know is that my e-mail address is like part of yahoo mail, as I can access all my accounts via the mail.yahoo site.

 

Any help you can share, I'll definitely appreciate.

Number 1 rule of the internet. Never use ISP's e-mail account. Stick with G-Mail or a free alternative. I've never been in this situation, but if you got that e-mail with the ATT service, I'm thinking you would lose access. Have you thought about contacting ATT about this directly?

Yeah....you don't use isp's email for anything. 

Most likely you will lose your account. I have lost my email access every time I've switched providers.

Same here. I live in the UK and had a Virgin Media email account I whiched ISP and they closed down the account luckly I only used it for dumb site I used when I was 12
