but I need to tell anyone that might trying and contact me for help via email, that Virgin have disconnect all our old ntlworld addresses. no warning and no explanation, I can receive emails, but sorry I can't reply until this is sorted.

Oh what a pain Lucille.

[Lucille]

I'm giving them hell Doreen, I've worked my way up to management at the moment and refusing to have a new email address, I'm sure this is some ploy to force people with old addresses to get new ones.

If anyone has received that email concerning speaking to foreign call centres and asking to speak to an English speaking operator, I can assure you it works, the Indian lady concerned was not too happy, but I don't care.

I'm with Virgin too and I've had my email addy for years, I wouldn't want to change, it would be too inconvenient.

If they carry on trying to force you to change your e-mail address just tell them "oh well since i have to change my e-mail address anyway i might as well swap my provider at the same time" then tell them you will be contacting sky to be your next provider and therefore will have a new e-mail address provide via them

I had problems not being able to receive half my channels with sky so i told them i was not happy paying for a service that i was not receiving and therefore i will be swapping over to virgin they soon sent me an engineer out free of charge and fix the the problem lol

Oh, don't worry I told them that and it wasn't some idle threat. This isn't the first time they have done this to me and they got the sharp end of my tongue then as well. I'm not stupid, I've taken on big companies before and know what to do and I'm prepared to see it through if I have to.

Hope you get it sorted Lucille..

What a pain Lucille - I must say the only thing that stops me from changing my provider is that I would have to have a new email addy - it's just too much trouble! Hope you get it sorted soon.

[Lucille]

Mysteriously, my missing, disconnected email addy's are now working, these people are just full of it.

[Fuschia]

Glad all's well again Lucille.

My NTL emails were playing up today. I could receive on all of them but not send. It's all back to normal now. Sometimes their SMTP server plays up, it could have been that.

Glad everything's back to normal Lucille

You don't need to change email address if you use a web based email like Hotmail which you can use/access from anywhere and is not tied to the company you get your internet through. I have used Hotmail for years with no problem - I probably shouldn't tempt fate !!

HA! not according to them, they said when they checked my email addresses were no longer on their server.
