Discount for Lack of Service - Email?

I haven't been able to send email in over 2 weeks, no one can fix it, no one seems to care, I assume we'll get a reduced rate for lack of service?

    That's doubtful, considering the email is more or less a freebie, but who knows?  People don't get HughesNet for their email.  

     

    There may even come a day when HughesNet removes the email.  Many ISPs have done the same due to lack of usage.  People are more and more using the free email services that are available, such a Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo, and for a variety of reasons, with one of the bigger ones being that you can take it with you.  They also tend to be more full fledged.

        You're free to research it if you like.  I'm just stating the reality of ISP based email today.

        With your own domain, what are some reliable email providers? (sorry, it's a bit off topic and probably a stupid question to boot).
