There are *many* ISP which provide a reasonable job when carrying IP
packets but not an acceptable one when relaying email. If it seems a
paradox to you, remember that loosing 5 % of the packets still allow
users to work while loosing 1 % of the email is unacceptable.
If you never met an ISP with a reasonable service for IP packets and a
very lousy service for email, then it means we do not live in the same
world.
