You have a choice, dial-up or broadband access. You just don't get to 
choose between broadband ISP A and broadband ISP B.

I'm not a control freak, but I certainly do want to control who has
access to my inbox and my mail server. *I* pay for both, so I get to
"control" both. If I don't want Spammerz 'R Us to have access to may
mail server, I damn well have the option to keep them out.
