But if you switch to Verizon as your ISP, you will also have an email address that *they* give you, right? Or can you tell them not to assign you one?
He doesn't care that he HAS a cox e-mail address.
The problem is that they want to do all billing through it. In other words, he can't log into the cox page and use his g-mail address and have them send stuff there.
Rather, he has to log into his cox address for just that one thing, rather than just ignoring it. (I'm sure I have an ISP e-mail too that I've never logged into. I'd be annoyed if they forced me to use it for just one thing.)

The only e-mail address I use, personal and work-related, is my own domain e-mail. (Which is because it's the domain of the company I own.)
I get Mediacom high-speed Internet at home, for example, and I'm sure there's a mchsi.com e-mail address out there with my name on it, but I sure as hell don't know what it is, nor do I see any need to use it. If Mediacom were to begin requiring me to use that address for official correspondence / bill paying / etc., I'd probably seriously consider returning to DISH Network and DSL.
Use an email client that will log on to all of your emails at once, have the option of sending by any email. So it automatically downloads cox and gmail and whatever else you use.
I don't know about Lindley, but I already do this and I have 9 e-mail accounts in it.
Being told I have to add a 10th one just for one website is obnoxious. Yeah, it's just one more, but who's gonna do it next? And after that?
Eventually I'll have 50 e-mail addresses in there!
This is depressing. This is Australian money, right? (Or do you have your own currency?) Google tells me that's about the same as $16 of my dollars.
For what you pay $16 I spend over $100.
Probably means rental. For some reason other parts of the world think it's possible to "hire" inanimate objects.
I'm pretty sure that the technical definition of the word "hire" is to pay for services, or to pay for the use of something. Think of taxi cabs being "for hire."
Oops wrong punctuction. It was $25 for my phone only. I meant to say
I am in fact paying about $US140 for what you are paying spend over $100 for. For my price I get two box sets for the Pay TV (we only have it on in our bedrooms), and I get 20 rental DVDs a month from Bigpond.

Okay, I think I understand now. He must use his Cox email address as his entry code to access Cox's billing, and all correspondence regarding his account can only be sent to that Cox address.
So is there a way to forward everything sent to his Cox addy to his Gmail one? That way, he wouldn't actually have to log into his Cox email account to read what's coming to it.
Definition of hire
engage or hire for work; "They hired two new secretaries in the department"; "How many people has she employed?"
rent: hold under a lease or rental agreement; of goods and services
a newly hired employee; "the new hires need special training"
lease: engage for service under a term of contract; "We took an apartment on a quiet street"; "Let's rent a car"; "Shall we take a guide in Rome?"
the act of hiring something or someone; "he signed up for a week's car hire"
It sounds very similar. I didn't take the Netflix DVD rentals into account. Everything together is probably almost exactly the same, it sounds like.
I stop paying them. Period. Well, not all of them.

Ya know when you buy a very expensive 50 inch Plasma screen telly and you get 1 years warranty with it? well if you want to take out insurance in order to get an extra 3 years warranty on top of that then that's TV insurance.
If my TV breaks within those 4 years I either get it fixed or replaced.
I just threw it into the list because technically it's a bill and I pay it every month.I know it's used that way. It just sounds bizarre to ears (well, eyes) that are unaccustomed to the usage.
As far as I'm concerned "hiring" is paying someone for their services. You don't pay a videotape; you pay the store. I suppose you could say you're hiring the store to provide the service of letting you watch a videotape, but the word "rental" is just so much simpler.
