Cogeco and E-mail
Jason Paikowsky
if Cogeco will adopt its own email domain (like som...@cogeco.ca), given
the athome fiasco?
Thanks.

On Oct 26 , I received the following..........................
URGENT! IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED RE: YOUR SERVICE
In light of the financial challenges facing Excite@Home, Cogeco Cable is
proactively taking the final steps to ensure the long term reliability and
stability of the network and related internet Services, including E-mail
provided to our customers. As such, Cogeco Cable is relocating residential
E-mail service accounts that end with the domain name "@home.com" to a new
Cogeco E-mail address. This process requires your co-operation and prompt
attention so that you can automatically continue receiving your E-mails,

minutes of your time.
Your @Home account has changed.
Effective immediately, we have created a new account for you on our @cogeco.ca
server. The simple procedures for obtaining your new user name and password
are provided in the instructions below. Once you have successfully completed
the conversion process, your new account will be activated and your old

Hmmm..... I didn't get this e-mail yet. And yes, I'm on COGECO!

Cheers!

subscribers, and eventually they will get to everyone. Seems to depend on
where one lives. There will be no forwarding of email from your old address,
so be prepared to do a lot of notifying if you have a large address book!

see. Get a clue, if @home's network goes boom, Rogers users will have
NO EMAIL, NO BACKBONE CONNECTION, NO NNTP, zero, nothing as these all
live on the @home network. So let me explain it to you in simple
terms. No @home tommorrow all 300,000 users will be off-line. Shaw,
Cogeoco, Cox and the others are well ahead of Rogers in setting up
mail servers etc. All it will take is one creditor of @home to say no
to the Chapter 11 action and the AT&T deal can tank.

plans in place in the case of an @Home failure. Unless you know something
specific, please don't post your hypothesis. Being a member of RBUA and
having met with senior Rogers management, I know that they will not leave
their customers without any access in case of termination of @Home services.
@Home may die but it will do so slowly. Rogers and the other MSOs will
likely have at least 90 days if not more to move customer email over.

am a paying customer and lately some of the RBUA people sound more like
Roger's PR folks (exception is Buzz). As for people claiming the @home
Chapter 11 can take months or longer, BULL! in fact the largest creditors of
excite@home rejected the AT&T bid demanding more money. Chapter 11 only
allows for a chance to restructure, it can't prevent bankruptcy. Chapter 11
didn't prevent PamAm Airlines from collapsing very quickly when the
creditors refused the terms. It can easily become a Chapter 7. I note you
posted via Look aka iDirect which is also floundering fast, in their case I
don't know why they are still in business...
