To be fair, many people that have Rogers High Speed Internet use it purely as
an ISP and do not use their e-mail services.  Especially useful for those folks
who don't want to tie themselves to an ISP for e-mail delivery but don't wish to
set up their own domain names, etc.

So those users may have e-mail, just not Rogers e-mail.
