That's scary. I want Google Fiber (not available in my area), but I wouldn't want my utility (Google Fiber) account & cell phone (Google Fi) plan vulnerable to an e-mail account ban.

Reading through the GFiber TOS it's not clear that you must use a Google account - they refer often to "the email address used to setup your account" but you can have a Google account with an email address not serviced at Google.

So if you're willing to have multiple accounts it seems doable.

You're not supposed to, but you get multiple gmail accounts for that - "service" accounts if you will.

Then you never use your service account and it gets disabled by the inactive account filter.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.
