Suppose you're the proud owner of a domain hosted by Yahoo Geocities, dutifully paying your $8.95 fee per month. Suppose you switch from AT&T DSL to Comcast Cable Internet. You're paying Yahoo Geocities for hosting services, so your web site will be unaffected by the change in internet providers. Right? Wrong. Yahoo Geocities is so inept, incompetent, imbecilic, wretched in every respect, that you will lose access to your own web site, for which you are still paying, for weeks. Over six weeks in my case, and counting. At one point they lost all my files. Six weeks of being endlessly on hold, of exchanging bootless emails, of promises that my problem has been "escalated" and that resolution will occur in "two to five business days, and for what? Nada, nothing, zippo. Still can't update my own site. Lost the few readers I had. And Yahoo Geocities is so apologetic about sabotaging their own customer they've offered me a two month credit. After shutting me down for a month and a half. But that's ok. Their latest email assures me that my "issue has been forwarded to the engineering team" so I have nothing to worry about. What's six weeks of total service failure between friends? Don't all businesses operate this way?
