of my personal info. Guess I would have to call them. Right?

everything if you change internet providers again. Google email is gmail.

start using gmail you will not have to lose your email account if you change internet providers. Remember that your email is often used as the username in sites you log into so you want it to last a long time.

2 years ago we changed from Verizon to xfinity Comcast. Now we are going back because of problems.

I know this thread is about fixing your problem, but in my opinion they all suck.

If you change ISP's, it is a real mess as noted in this discussion. For that reason, use something like GMAIL or Yahoo for your mail. Then, if you move or get fed up with your ISP/cable provider, you loose nothing as far as email is concerned. Likewise, you won't have problems with your other internet web sites such as your bank.

Better yet get your own domain and you are even more independent, but this may take some more technical expertise.

Your own domain is the same problem as tying your email to an ISP. It ties you down. Gmail email address is 100% portable.

With your own dmain, what if you want to stop maintaining the domain? It's not terribly expensive, but it's not free. You have to pay an annual fee for the domain itself, and you have to pay an annual fee for the server to host it on. You then have the hassle of renewing these services. You can do both on a multi-year basis, but you still have to keep renewing, and keep paying.

I had my email tied to my domain, as part of my business, and decided it was not worth the effort. Switched to a gmail address, which I can use regardless of my ISP.
