No reason why, just got curious and counted different email providers around our user base (as of 14th March 2014):

Gmail: 17355
Hotmail: 13292
Yahoo: 9625
Xtra: 3508
IHUG: 730
Paradise: 645
Orcon: 626
Comcast: 567
Vodafone: 349
Verizon: 105
Outlook: 86
Snap: 76
AT&T: 60
Lycos: 52
Mailcity: 7

It seems people around here are are using more and more third-party email providers. Good.

Outlook and Hotmail same thing aren't they?

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

I am guessing Mauricio just look at the domain names for the email addresses. So own domains on Google Mail or Office 365/Outlook would not be counted as such.

Correct.

And it's not "Comcast 1%" as pointed out, because we have around 80,000 registrations at the moment, so a bit less. I just listed the ones I thought of while collecting the numbers.

That puts them at about 0.7% still way higher than I would have expected.

Ah, so I'm not going crazy after all. "I'm sure that Comcast was 5th in the list a moment ago!"

No disrespect to present company but who uses their "best" address registering on forums?
