Rogers bandwidth warnings appearing in web browser

[Alexander Short]

I fall into this boat with Cogeco.  If I have a @cogeco address, I don't
remember ever setting it up and wouldn't have a clue where to go to
access it or login credentials.  It would be just another email box to
monitor as I haven't used an ISPs email services (other then to use
their SMTP server to bounce out) in years.  When you move around and you
change ISPs and have to send mass emails to everyone and their brother
to advise of your new address, its just a pain. Much rather keep using
the one I've had for the last 10+

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.
