How much is BT worth? All they had to do was pretend BT Vision is a social media playground and they could have cashed in ;)

It's a blow for Yahoo, who will lose the visitors to its homepage when the new BT.com arrives, but the blow is tempered by April's acquisition of Sky Broadband customers.

Does not affect me. I use a mail forwarder and Apple for my mail. So never use Sky or whoever they have transferred my account to.

Finally.

Yahoo's email service was terrible & their tech support guys were even worse

We have customers that Yahoo blacklist and no amount of contact to them ever releases the blacklist. This also meant that BT email addresses were also effected.
Pain in the ar5e to try and fix.

Yahoo was my 1st web e-mail account (when you had to use it every so many months or it closed unless you paid for it) and I still use it as my main one as everyone I know knows it. I like the disposable e-mail accounts and the way that they work.

Never had to use their support

I have a reminder set up to remind me to check it regularly so do not have to pay for the account.
