I have found that it’s worth the investment to go with a company that has great local service and is customer friendly. One of my favorites is godaddy. There are many others and I don;t want to hype just one, but they have a live english speaking US based phone support and their technical knowledge and patience is incredible. No matter what the issue is, they have been quick to resolve it.

Here’s what I just sent them (and blogged)
Dear Robot,
I think you must be a robot as a human would surely have read the trail of emails about this. I will assume that you are a robot that was trained in English. Therefore, I expect that you will be able to follow the content of this email. I apologise in advance if you are easily offended.
I have typed these things till I am blue in the face, but WTF I apparently have nothing better to do with my time.
Since 30 September I have had trouble with my Yahoo email address which is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
My husbands email which is yahoo works fine on the same computers and same internet connection. I have sent requests etc to Yahoo every day since then, and I still have the same problem. I get automated stupid responses then a follow up which does not address the issue and when I write again the loop starts anew.
I have attached a document of what I think are the highlights of this marvellously pointless exercise.
Just a few suggestions for next time this happens to people. You may choose to implement them or not, I really don’t care because I will never use your crummy ’service’ again…
If someone says they can’t log in to their email, why do you send an information request to that email? Dumb
If someone says they have carried out all the tasks suggested in your mail, and followed everything on the laughably named HELP page, and still their email doesn’t work, why do you continue to tell them that YOU are happy to report you couldn’t replicate the error. WE don’t care that YOU are happy. We are NOT.
Why do you ask for screenshots and suggest people use an alt tab function when they have advised right from the start they use an ipad and there are NO SUCH KEYS.
In fact, why even bother sending ridiculous automated template replies to people that say you will be happy to help within 24 hours. I have been waiting more than 10 times that long and have not had one sensible interaction.
Good manners prevents me from telling you what I really think about this whole thing.
I can appreciate that perhaps, like Blackberry, there has been an outage that affects many customers. If so, tell us. If not, find somebody with a brain to sort out my individual problem. If you are unable to hire anyone with a brain you should use a different employment agency or pay more money. Remember, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys.
If you can solve my problem please feel free to email me.
If you wish to apologise for the appalling lack of customer service or common good manners in your ‘organisation’ (I can’t believe I called it that), please fell free to email me.
If you want to send me another automatic response or stupid template with unhelpful hints like use the alt tab button, may I suggest you use your time more productively and have a toilet break.
Goodbye

Don’t forget Yahoo gave user info to the Chinese communist government to get in good with them so they could make more money. Many of those users that complained about the communist government were imprisoned and executed. Yahoo is EVIL and will do ANYTHING for money!

Yahoo doesn’t give a shit about its customers just their ability to sell ads on their ISP. My father is blind and uses the website for his email but is continually deluged with ads for him to buy cars, movies to see and other irrelevant bullshit. I’ve complained to Yahoo but they never answer any of my requests. It’s a corporate cluster-fuck who belives profit is more important than customer service and customer service is unknown to Yahoo and they couldn’t care less.

I hate Yahoo mail because:
It is so friggin slow
I have high speed DSL
It has so much overhead, with popup advertising, it takes forever to load
It locks up all the time. At least once or twice a session and has to be reloaded
Resurch shows; that problem has been going on for years
I have tried getting a new email but ATT almost forces you to use yahoo!
ATT should provide other email services
It sucks that windows 7 doesnt have email anymore!
Before windows 7 the mail was great and versatile and fast.

Yahoo is a worthless service they treat people like enemies not customers they bully and could care less if you use their services. I deleated 2 of my email accounts with Yahoo today! NEVER AGAIN!!

I won’t ever use any YAHOO services again! I don’t see how YAHOO could turn a profit the way they treat people. Their Customer Service leaves me non plus!

If YAHOO get’s your credit card information you will get better understanding of the word SCAM! WARNING BEWARE BUYER YAHOO SUCKS! Yuk, yuk, puke, puke!

I have had he account for 5 years and not one single piece of spam. Then 2 months ago inbox is fillin’ up with spam!! WTF!! I contact Yahoo! The idiots tell me the IP address and tells me to contact the ISP. Jackass! That is your job.

I wrote Yahoo an email and copied Knujon and gmail support and told Yahoo since you cannot keep spam out of my inbox I am terminating my account and using my gmail account. Yeah, I know I should have done that 5 years ago.

ya i seriously would just like to encourage people to start dumping their stock, because sadly a hit to someone’s pocket book is the only thing that will grab some corporations attention that we are pissed off – the thing that offends me so bad is the constant frivolous suspensions and violation notices in their “Answers” section … they treat us like children in a sandbox – they should take a lesson from Twitter and Google etc, that censorship is highly counter-productive

I think that Yahoo! sucks. I always have problems creating an avatar. Whenever I try to do something, this Aberston’s thing pops up. I know that you might say,” Well, than you should clean your computor’s virus.” Trust me, it’s not with the virus. Another thing is that Yahoo! brags about everything on their website. I only have one comment:yahoo is the worst, gmail rocks.

The new yahoo webpage. Such a wonderful thing. Now it has MANDANTORILY changed to make me answer a question about ADDING a new webite…BEFORE I can even use Yahoo.

Who are the idiots who are designing this new “improved” website.

And, my questions to them resulted in this reply:

Have you ever had Google screw you over due to variances in your AdSense account? They dropped my account with NO explanation, won’t return emails, and i couldn’t get through on the phone. What, don’t they have Android? I also had an AdWords account for a while, but I ended up paying Google nearly 5 times the value of what I made BEFORE expenses. Google’s model for internet advertisement comments only benefits ONE company reliably and consistently: Google itself. And I’m surprised that people / customers put up with this sort of treatment. And they want me to use their products. Arrogant Google at it again. I wish I could go to the Googleplex right now and talk to somebody about my situation?
