1327391 2013-02-12 01:28:00 Just got a release from Telecom:




Telecom said today it was commencing a review of email service to its broadband customers following a series of issues which have impacted negatively on the Yahoo! Xtra service over the past year.

Telecom CEO Retail Chris Quin says the company will undertake the review over the next two months.

“We share the frustration that our customers have been experiencing over recent months. We fully appreciate that repeatedly saying ‘sorry’ doesn’t cut it anymore. We are committed to taking a close, hard look at the best way to meet our customers’ email needs.”

Mr Quin says the review will include a comprehensive assessment of the Yahoo! Xtra service in consultation with service provider, Yahoo!

“When Telecom outsourced the Xtra email service to Yahoo! in 2007, it was the right thing to do at the time in terms of meeting our customers’ desire for an ongoing email service associated with their Telecom broadband account. However, the global email environment has changed markedly since then and we believe the time is right for a comprehensive review of our approach in this area.”

... oh and the price of your reduced "bundle" won't be going down either ...

1327395 2013-02-12 05:40:00 Who said anything about changing passwords making the Computers crash - wasn't me.

I said they clicked on the links in the mails and the computers crashed - two totally different things.

You did:



Had several calls from people who have had these mails, and they cant change passwords as Xtra suggest- the PC simply crashes.


See?

But don't worry, the posts since have cleared up the confusion, at least on my end....I get what you're saying now. But I was think how the hell does changing the password crash it?
