I used to have Verizon for my phone, DSL, & internet and email service provider. Due to some deal between Fairpoint Communications and the State of Maine, I and everyone else in Maine were forced to be switched over to Fairpoint Communications for all of the above services - whether we wanted it or not.

The transition from Verizon was promised to be seamless, but was anything but. I lost stored email messages during the switch and for about two weeks could not reliably send or receive email. Now I cannot send email messages to anyone with a yahoo.com email address.

Fairpoint Communications email service sucks. I am paying for something that does not work properly.
