    As one of the 2000 users being dumped by ireland on line surf no limits Im a little confused..hopefully someone can help me. If I register with another isp...say eircom..not that I'd like to, but if I do..am I going to lose my iol email addy. Will I still be able to access it?? or will I have to change over completely??...

    There's been fair bit of discussion on this on ie.comp - consensus is that you will not lose your email address.

    One of the suggestions (I made it, in fact wink.gif ) is to get a non-ISP specific email address or a forwarding email address.

    My own one, for example - niall (AT) okeeffe.com is non-ISP specific in that I don't have to have an ISP account to check it. It, along with many other Irish surname domains, is available from http://www.netidentity.com (formerly MailBank.com). That kind of service you have to pay for - while others (forwarding accounts) come free - you simply change the address that the email account forwards to when you change ISP's. More info on that at http://www.netforward.com/.
