Anyone else use Embarq email?

Is it down for you as well? It's been down all day. It goes down all the time, and last for a long time as well.

I live in central PA.
I have no idea if anyone outside of PA can get it or not.

Cool. I live in the Butler area, and it is Armstrong Cable or Embarq DSL around here. Embarq used to be Sprint.

Now that I think about it, I saw a sign for an office of theirs in Warren, OH.

yep, used to be sprint. the ineternet access has worked fine, it's just their email service that sucks ass. when they used Earthlink, I rarely had a problem. Embarq has problems at least once a week.

I gave up using ISP e-mail services. I've went from SBC/Yahoo to Time Warner to Embarq...not worth my time switching everything over. I got Gmail and use that for webmail and POP3.

A guy at work has Embarq. He was kinda mad that they made him change his Earthlink email to Embarq mail.

My folks in NW Ohio have Embarq. They don't use it as their primary email however, I have a domain name set up for them to use instead.

yeah, i was pissed i ahd to switch. i didn't have to, but it would cost an extra $3-4 a month. Had I known embarq's mail would be crappy, i might have paid or used gmail or something. I could still do that, and may if it continues, but I hate having to tell everyone my email changed, and so soon.

i did their chat support and the message said they are down and working on it.
i just talked to a friend who has it and his works fine, so i don't know what the hell is going on.
