I would even send the e-mail to myself at another address (to prove it was leaving COMCAST), and I would receive it within minutes, yet my text message could be hours to a day behind. I tried arguing with Verizon about it, and all they do is send me a text message from within the system and it arrives instantly. I was unable to convince them that the VTEXT.COM system was having issues. Sometimes I'll get the text within seconds, sometimes hours later. Since I know that I had the problem with my Motorola V710, I know it's not a ROM problem. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a choice, I just live with it.
If you're talking about cell-to-cell text messages being delayed, I've never seen that, but I've also not loaded WM6.

I don't receive email text messages from my Comcast account at all. NONE of them go through. I was trying to test my text messaging on 9/3 from my Comcast email, but I did not receive a single message. A few days later (9/6) I got a stream of delivery failures that looked like this:
The following addresses had delivery problems:
[myphone#]@vtext.com
Persistent Transient Failure: Delivery time expired
Delivery last attempted at 3 Sep 2007 21:55:41 +0000
I could send and receive without any problem from my Yahoo account at that same time and standard phone-to-phone SMS worked fine too.
Not sure why this happens, but I have a feeling they are doing some sort of spam blocking that may be affecting some email-text users.
