If enough of us do, eventually they will have no choice but to listen, especially in case of paying customers.
I avoid "free" mail services because I prefer not to be the commodity, so have been a paying customer (nb.net) forever. But nb.net no longer run their own MTA (maybe for just this reason?), farming it out to userservices.net. As a result they increasingly unresponsive to complaints. I have not figured out my next step.
