Broadband Packages: Selection.

Hello Chums...

Cost of Broadband...

Talk-Talk is my Telephone land line Provider.
Orange is my Internet Service Provider, including Broadband.

At the moment, my land line rental costs me

Get the cheaper package... you will need the money for rising living cost. and get a free email like hotmail or gmail

...now there's a tip...

Hotmail/Gmail.... ::)...!

I've always avoided them, and looked upon them as poor relations to Outlook Express, etc....a bit like Facebook... ;D...!

...there's another thought.....Outlook Express for my Free E-Mail handling.....including Spam Filtering?

(Orange handles it for me at the present).

Talk-Talk for my free/cheap Phone and Broadband packages, and Outlook Express for my free E-Mail handling?

Paul....things are looking better by the minute!... :).. :)..!

P.S. ...I'm still curious as to the transferring of my present/precious complete E-Mail address across to Outlook Express.....part of my Address contains my old, original Service Providers name....eg: "Freeserve" ... ::)...!

Freeserve > Wanadoo > Orange.

Foz, with a 6 MB download limit, you'll be paying over 100$ a month on orange, I'd go with talk-talk, as long as the MB there isn't a typo.

 I think you can direct your current e-mail provider to Outlook Express and then change to the new e-mail address for all contacts without interuption in service.
 My father switched internet providers a few months back and I was able to change the settings in Outlook Express to prevent any interuptions.

Hello Mush....

I just had a word with one of my Lads, and he tells me that if I change my Broadband/Service Provider I cannot keep my original E-Mail address...

.....it must contain the name of the new ISP!....

from;
name@myspecialname.freeserve.co.uk...
to;
name@myspecialname.talktalk.co.uk

Buggar....I've had the freeserve* name for over 10 years!.... ...!

Means I am going to have to tell EVERONE of my NEW address... ...!

Paul...I hate swapping "things"!.... ...!

True, but I believe if you set up OE to receive your current provider's mail you can, after changing providers, send a mass mailing notifying all in your address book of the new address.

For the email problems I find using a couple different online email addresses for spam (anything you sign up for) and outlook 03 for just regular email....IMO

I think Virgin are doing a good deal at the moment. Something ridiculously fast with all the extras, for something between

Changing Internet Service Providers...

Problem number 150:

I receive E-Mail from trusted companies and News Sites, and various Internet Sites all around the world, with my permission.

How on earth do I advise all the zillions* of them that my E-Mail address has changed and I wish to get my Mail using the new address....

Now for safety reasons, (the danger of transmitting Trojans), none of them are listed and stored in my Computer Mail address book so it cannot be done via the Address Book.... ...!

It will be a nightmare if I have to E-Mail all of them independently, to advise them of my change of E-Mail address!

...silly me.... the reason why I was hoping my new Service Provider would accept the wording of my old E-Mail address.... ...!

...any ideas, Mates...?

Paul...I hate moving.... ...!

* I exagerate, but only slightly.....!

P.S.....Just Googled for answers to the problem....

Qoute:
.....The good news here is that unlike the free services, most major ISPs have email forwarding services available, so that email sent to your old account can be automatically forwarded to your new one. It's also worth checking with the ISP directly - some may support a more complete solution to changing your email address - but exactly if, how, and how much will vary widely.....
End quote.

Will check with my new ISP as time progresses......!

...P.P.S. Just had a quick word with my new ISP, and they assure me that any E-Mail sent to my old ISP using my old ISP address, will automatically be forwarded to my new ISP, for a period of up to one year....

...(trust us)... .... ....!
