Ask FastMail to keep their Jabber/XMPP on!

Do you have an account on FastMail?
They're about to shut down their XMPP service, on the grounds that "other major players stopped supporting it". But that's a real vicious circle! You shut down because others shut down, who shut down because others shut down before...
If you're a customer of FastMail, please ask them to not shut down this service. In fact, you could ask them to make their jabber/XMPP service more visible instead. More of their users might use it then.
Thank you for your support! ;)

openmailbox.org offers XMPP service with the same account, and you can get a paid account with them =)
I thought the Kolab Now service (old MyKolab) by @Kolab Groupware offered XMPP too, but I can't see that on their site.
Countermail offers XMPP too, apparently, and they have paid plans.
