I am not paying Xfinity to get a Yahoo email address! I don't want Yahoo.

I appreciate the reply but that is not technically true. It may say @comcast.net, but it will be on Yahoo servers with Yahoo rules and as reported, Yahoo ads not to mention Yahoos lack of support. As I said, I and others my age used Yahoo free emails back before Google was even a thing so I am not thrilled at all for this "upgrade", which it is not.

Maybe I'm wrong but looks like Comcast is just cutting services to cut costs. How many employees will lose jobs from this move? Will our rates decrease due to less services? 

None of this passes the smell test.

Again, not pointing this at you personally.

I don't know why Comcast decided to make this move.  I do know, however, that right now, you do not have to migrate your comcast.net email to Yahoo! Mail.  That's the good news.  The bad part of this news is that I have no idea, and neither does anyone else, if we're going to have to migrate; it's just something we'll have to wait and see.  And IMHO, if we do not have to migrate I really hope there is a way that those that did migrate will be able to transfer back.

As of right now, I am not certain if any employees have lost their job because of the earlier migration.  I'm also not sure this is a cost cutting thing or not, but I can tell you that both Spectrum and Cox have moved their email service to Yahoo.

Depending on your [global "your"] browser there may be an extension to filter out those ads.  I have an email address there and I have that extension so I never see any ads.

For my opinion, I think this wasn't a well thought out move that took into consideration all of the possible pitfalls, and Comcast is seeing those now.

And no, I didn't think you were directing your comments to me, just stating your opinion.
