Re: [Avid-L2] Avid App Manager: "Update Not Allowed"

 

When I checked my bill several months back I am paying way too much.  Something in the neighborhood of 45 bucks a month for this crappy service.  I will switch to a Time Warner Cable modem when I come up for air.  Part of my issue, and I posted about this months ago, is I have so much email data stored in folders on my ATT email account I can't find out if I drop ATT will my account be terminated.  It is a Yahoo account but it goes through ATT and my domain is an old pacbell.net.  I did a lot of googling months back and the best I found was that I could migrate the folders to a gmail account which I tried but it only took a few of the folders over.  The process says it may take days but even after a week it only had a few of the folders transfered over.

They seem to make finding out specifics of keeping your email account after changing ISPs very difficult.  I would have thought it would be a common occurrence and a quick google would show me the way but that was not the case.  I'm not ruling out that I am google challanged but I even contacted Time Warner and they said they could migrate my account info, including folders, into a new account with them but when I tried to be specific about the folder transfers I was told oh yeah they can do that but I was talking to the sales department and I didn't have much confidence in their assurances that it would work.

Without trying to pile on, I agree.  I hope that's not costing much.
3 Mbs is just about enough bandwidth to play the AOL "You have mail" recording.

I have a cable modem at home.  Connection is 155 Mbps.  Used to be 50...they bumped it up last year at no charge.  They now offer 330 for more money,  but I'm happy with what I have.  I'm with RCN in NYC...Time Warner and Verizon offer similar.   Haven't used DSL in a decade.  I hope you aren't paying a lot for dreadful download speeds like that.  This is 2016.

The download at my home always take roughly 2 hours.  I have DSL with something like 3Mb/sec download.  At my main work facility it's also slow.  I did work at one production company that would download really fast but that was something like 10 to 15 minutes and that's the fastest I've ever used.  I'm also downloading mac installers which are a complete install and not a patch.  I've never seen anything like a couple minutes from the download center.  Wish I had Fios or some Fibre in my home.  My option is a cable modem which I should switch to when I get the time to deal with it.
