I've been on Verizon's FIOS for about 18 months and am very happy with it. I'm sure million's of people check their work email from their home ISP, especially if they do not have Blackberry access. Your wife's is not the first story I've seen or read of this kind. Apparently it's standard practice for Comcast to put limits (without telling you) on your e-mail. They say it's to prevent spammers from basing themselves off of Comcast's platform, but my guess it's like everything with Comcast . . . it's a lie disguising some lack (memory, capacity, foresight, brains, whatever) they have. Ah, the Administration of Jimmy Carter just keeps giving and giving. (Most of the monopoly cable rules were promulgated under him.)
