Several MacNN readers note services, which appears to be isolated to problems with a single ISP, Adelphia.net: "Customers using Adelphia as their ISP are currently unable to access the mac.com domain. This will affect access to all .Mac services. Adelphia technical support, and our own .Mac engineers, are aware of the issue and are working together to resolve the matter. We will post additional information here as soon as it is available, and we regret any inconvenience," according to an Apple support posting.

    MacNN, you suck

    This is SO LAME!!!

    This is not Apple's fault in the least.

    MacNN calls this "another" .Mac outage??? Come on!

    It is obvious that the problem is with one specific ISP and NOT .Mac at all, but for some reason MacNN once again puts a negative ant-Apple spin on it. What is the deal??

    MacNN keeps reporting these alledged .Mac problems as if they are major issues even though the vat majority of users are having absolutely no problems at all.

    It is not like there isn't already an over abundance of anti-Apple bias in the media, why does MacNN feel the needs to spread their own FUD against Apple?

    yawn

    Why is this news if it affects only one ISP? Blame that one ISP then.

    Guys, chill out

    This is news for many people. If it helps a few folks keep their email going, why not? Calm down. Don't read it if it "offends" you so much.

    They're not wrong

    They're right. All .Mac outage stories have an anti-mac slant. This one proves not to be the exception, although it's clearly an issue not directly attributable to Apple. Makes me think MacNN editors are part of that crowd that said Apple was shafting everyone with .Mac and that the service would never last. Alas, its nearly a year later and .Mac is better than ever. So I guess you have to find something to base your I told you so articles on....that and to reassure yourselves that you're not actually missing out on a product that might be great for you on the grounds that you're way to proud to admit you are wrong.

    Not saying that any of that is true. MacNN could be served off of someone's iDisk for all I know. But I doubt it.

    Adelphia...

    ...sucks anyway. In my area, this stupid cable company has had about 10 different names in the past 3 years. And they've all been attrocious. Ugh.

    .mac?

    You mean .mac can have problems with outside sources? no way... who would have thought that from the persons machine to the email server, that there could be issues.. damn, this whole time I thought it was apple. :)

    Re: They're not wrong

    How is .Mac "better than ever?" It still costs 5 times as much as a decent web hosting package that does 10 times as much, is slower than dirt, won't work with an FTP client, and has email filtering that you can't turn off.

    Tell me again what is so great about it?

    What?

    Five times as much? Damn, i didn't realize I was paying $1400.00 per year to use .mac!

    Show me an ISP, fool, that you can get a 'decent' web hosting package for 20 bucks per year.....

    well...!?!

    yeah, i thought not.
