changing ISP and "favourites"

This is probably a stupid question, but I am changing from Sky to BTInternet and am not sure if we will lose all our favourite saved sites (MSE being top of the list of course!).
If so, is there an easy way of transferring them?
Thanks in advance.

    You won't lose them.

    You can carry on using the same browser, IE, Firefox or whatever, regardless of a change in ISP. Just like you can keep the same phone when you switch from BT to another telephone company.

    Your favourites are linked to the browser, not the ISP.

    Transferring them is easy anyway if you ever need to do that. Just export them from one browser and import them into another browser. You need to do that if you change browser or do a complete reinstall of Windows.
