    If you have a lot of accounts that use your email address to log in then it's advisable to use any of the free email services not tied to an Internet provider. As I_Died_Tryin pointed out, it frees you from the hassle of updating accounts if you switch providers and also allows you to chose providers strictly on the basis of the service they provide.

     

    1) Yes

    2) Yes

    3) Yes

    4) No, not a provider limitation, it's an inherent limitation of the current WiFi technology

I don't think any Telus or shaw router can reach that far on their own without WiFi extenders.

Telus does offer extenders with their Internet packages.

 

Personally I would never use Shaw (Rogers) or Telus linked email addresses.

If you ever have to change services, you will still have full uninterrupted email service using something like outlook, Google, Proton, etc.

 

I have changed my DNS and SSID numerous times over the past 20 years with Telus.

Today I'm awaiting delivery of a new 2.5gbps router that supports vlans and nearly unlimited port forwards.

Telus routers do not support many fancy settings. Their modem/routers only support 32 port forwards.

Before mesh, I could pick up a l-top from 1 metre away from meshy modem, walk outside to my pick-nick table 40 meters away and still have great connections.

Then they upgraded and just to go one floor up or through 1 wall I need 'pods'. Of course I do. $8.00  plus taxes each!.

 

BC Tel was my provider when the Internet was first accessible from here. I know Telus's history. Remember @home? Datapac? 🙂

Before retiring, privacy was my métier. I wouldn't use Gmail, Outlook or any web based public webmail. The HTML hidden layer is a sponge IMO - tomato, tomato. Too, [email protected] business is just not copasetic yet until the kiddie koders of today are old enough to be a CEO 😁



Thanks
