I have to move my primary email address because we are probably switching ISPs (from Bell to cable from either Teksavvy or Distributel) and I use a sympatico.ca email address that comes with our Bell Internet.

To avoid this in future, I want to use a "net neutral" address that isn't tied to a provider. I know about the common options (Hotmail and its derivatives such as outlook.com and live.ca/com, GMail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.) and have accounts at a couple of them that I might use, though for various reasons I may not.
