Broadband: Verizon/AOL vs Verizon/yahoo
Verizon/AOL vs Verizon/yahoo
by craigmohead - 10/7/06 2:40 PMIs there a big difference between Verizon/AOL and Verizon/Yahoo DSL?
I'll try to answer this

You can sign up for a Verizon.net email account.
You can then choose which company you want to use the services of, AOL or Yahoo. You don't have to choose then. You don't have to choose at all, if you don't want to. I didn't. I have a FREE Yahoo account. I have a FREE Gmail account. I do NOT use my Verizon.net email account. It's all up to you what you want to use. These things do NOT affect your DSL.
I kept my Yahoo account for my newsletters. I use my Gmail account for my personal emails. I didn't have to change my email address with my friends. They don't even know I switched from CompuServe, AOL sister company, to Verizon.
It's all up to you as to what programs and spyware you want on your computer.
Hope this helps.

They are supplemental services offers

When you make the choice, your browser homepage is changed to either verizon.yahoo.com or verizon.aol.com, that's all. If you do not have an account with either Yahoo or AOL, you will be given the opportunity to sign up for an account with your choice. If you already have an account, just sign in.
Back in 2004, Verizon offered a choice between MSN and Yahoo. I chose MSN, since I had never tried it before. At the time I switched, I was a long-time AOL user, so I just kept using AOL for free via the TCP/IP connection option, too.
