Absolutely ...

I want my Internet connection to be like my phone connection. I want "IP dial tone" and that's about it. I specifically do not want any content, any web portal, etc.

(FWIW, that's why I favour DSL over cable: my feeling is that a historical pipe-provider is more likely than a historical content-provider to grasp the "I just want a connection" mindset).

Right now I use my ISP email account because it's there, but I'm not overly attached to that concept. I've just been too lazy to do anything about it.
