After going through a couple of small ISPs I wound up at surfnaked.ca -
who could resist an e-mail address like that?  Through various acquisitions
it would up belonging to Uniserve, but they were wise enough to retain the
original domain name in addition to their own.

I wouldn't want to go to a huge conglomerate like gmail, for various
reasons that others have already mentioned - plus the fact that staying
with a smaller independent provider is more in keeping with the original
spirit of the Internet.  When I went DSL I signed up with Telus (the
local telco); I could receive e-mail through them, but I hung on to
my surfnaked account and just use Telus's SMTP server for posting.
