My goal today was to ensure that you were very satisfied with the service I delivered. You may receive an email survey requesting that you rate my service. Please check for it so you can let my manager and I know if you were very satisfied with my service.

I kept my email address even though I canceled my DSL. Hopefully you dont have any problems keeping yours.

How long ago did you cancel? Some places have a 60 day grace period before they turn off your account.

What happens to my AT&T Yahoo! Premium Services if I cancel my AT&T Yahoo! DSL service?

For All Applications, All Operating Systems, and All Domains

If you choose to cancel your Yahoo! DSL service, your free Core Services will be downgraded to the regular free Yahoo! offering.

For example, the AT&T Yahoo! Mail storage is 2GB. When you terminate the AT&T services, the storage size will be downgraded to 100MB.

However, any Premium Services that you purchased independent of the AT&T Yahoo! Premium Service offering will remain unchanged.

The information is summarized at http://sbc.yahoo.com/terms/, which was presented during the installation of the AT&T services and accepted by you.

Anyone? I remember we can like add $5 a month to keep it or something? But I think they just giving us a grace period.

I am considering canceling my At&t DSL Internet Service and want to know if I will be able to continue to use my @sbcglobal.net email afterward.

I had an online chat with an At&t tech support rep and here is how it went:



Is this true? Has anyone out there went through this and kept their @sbcglobal.net address without having to pay extra?
