OK, I knew this was coming. I'm with BTOpenworld (formerly BTInternet) and they've slowly been "upgrading" users to their new portal\/brand called BTYahoo!. <\/p>\n
Apart from a new super-overloaded and XP-style homepage which I can – and will – do without, they require you to log-in on every visit. Try doing this with Opera and you get a polite message saying it's time to 'update your browser' <\/b>. And what do they offer? That awful browser\/bruiser IE6 or Netscape. OK, NS ain't so bad, but it's no longer even supported by Netscape so far as I know. Makes no difference if you identify Opera as IE (though why should we?). <\/p>\n
The upgrade has totally pooped my most heavily used e-mail account as well. Apparently it'll take up to 48 hours to know whether it'll come back. Can't even get to it via webmail at the moment. Small mercy is that there's a short route to collect webmail that does accept Opera. <\/p>\n
All this is supposedly so they can give me a personalized web experience. Well I'd achieved that on my own. They even send the advisory email in html with no proper plain text version attached, so I have to change the settings in Pegasus if I want to read it properly, go back on line and allow lazy-html to make its way to my machine. <\/p>\n
