Hey All,

A bit frustrated here. Ever since switching from my AOL account to my new verizon account I have been happy. Its speedy at a little under 3mbps. I am however very dissatisfied with the fact that I cannot receive email from any of my friends outside of the US. I am also sorry to say that I found out from alot of other sources that this has been a problem since the middle of December. Apparently verizon has implemented a new kind of "spam" protection that blocks alot of outside of the United States domain names. People who have been with verizon for years are just now saying that they are having the same problems as well. I spoke with many people at verizon today and I had one person have the nerve to tell me to use a free email service such as yahoo or gmail. I think that I may just create another spymac account and use apple mail to access it and give this out to all of my contacts in my address book. I find it appalling and I'm very upset about it. Anyone else a verizon customer?
