Changing Provider?

John_3:16

Dear All

Just a few questions I hope you can answer please. I wish to change provider from tiscali to Virgin as they will offer me a free Broadband if I take a phone deal out with them.

1 Will I loose my email addresses with tiscali if i cancel or are they still active?

2 How easy is it to re config my wireless netgear router and what will I have to do to accept Virgin .

3. Is Virgin any good have heard that it keeps disconecting down. has anyone had any problem this way?

Sorry if these are straight forward but do not change provider very often and usely I mess things up when everything is working fine.

4. Also the timing of the change. Is it all automatic or do you have 2 providers at once providing the service is this is possible

Thanks for any help

If you really wanted to you could run your own mail server at home but in practice it's probably best to use the company you registered your domain name through.
