As Rogers is a large corporation, I doubt that they will even listen to your legitimate (!) requirements, that you paid for during the last 16+ years. I always refused to use the email services from my internet provider. I have my own domain, hosted in Ottawa for the email, and I also have Proton, located in EU, as we are trying to cut cords with Google. I always wanted to consider Rogers/Bell/Telus/Videotron as a connection provider, nothing else. Gimme a connection, and lemme deal with my services,, the way I see fit.
