As I have related in this place, we are intending to move to Basil-land (its OK, your pub is safe, Basil, as although we have been offered places in Llandysul, we're (hopefully) moving to near Llanfair Caereinion). We will no longer be able to avail ourselves of the services of Virgin to provide superfast broadband, but will be able to get what BT refer to as superfast, but I call vaguely pathetic, but it'll do. As I won't be a Virgin customer any more, what happens to my ntlworld email address, does it cease immediately, does it slowly slip off into oblivion at some point, or can I just set a forwarding thingy on its "out of office" function that'll carry on for years?
I've only ever changed email address once before, when Cable and Wireless sold out to NTL, so I've had the same ntlworld email address for donkey's years, and have had a gmail one for quite a few years now. Should I just try to direct everyone to my gmail one, or what's the best strategy?
I'm unlikely to actually deal with BT, as I hate them with a passion, but will probably use Vodafone, as I'll get a small discount being a long term Vodafone mobile customer, and they can do the business. I don't even know if there are Vodafone email addresses!
