[ale] [OT] dsl throughput

It's been discussed on the list before, so I didn't go into detail.
Your solution solves the more important half of the problem. The other
half is the user experience in the event of a service switch. If you
are going to allow someone to own your email and assume the privacy
and reliability risks... you might as well use Gmail. Then you never
have to change your email setup as you change ISPs.

The real kicker is that ISPs charge YOU for extra email accounts. The
more email accounts someone has, the more deterred they are from
leaving. Why would you charge for that? They pay millions in
advertising to try to recruit new and retain existing. How much would
they have to pay an advertising firm to get the same numbers that
extra email accounts would give? Fools.
