In view of the open architectural principles of the internet, it is quite impossible for your provider's unwillingness to provide some specific add-on service to be worse than a mere inconvenience. In this particular case, it isn't even particularly difficult to work around the issue. You're welcome to contact me off-list if you're interested in learning how.
