Changing ISP without hassle!

OK guys...need your help!

I got fobbed off by Tiscali. They said (on this site) that there were going to offer Unlimited Broadband plus unlimited calls to 01 and 02 numbers for £19.99 a month WITHOUT having to pay additional line rental to BT. Wrong! My aunt tried this and they don't do it. I moved my phone from TalkTalk to go for the Tiscali bundle deal as mentioned above. I've been with Tiscali for years so figured it should be easy. We can't get TalkTalk free broadband here without paying a surcharge. How can I have an email address I carry with me, without hassle, high cost or 1 million spam a day? Thanks in advance!

    For the email address - register a .co.uk domain name, then you can keep your email address forever - the downside is that you'll have to pay a few pounds a year - but it is hassless... the host should have spam filters too... just remember not to publise the address as well

    There are dozens of free accounts you can have which aren't tied to your ISP. I recommend gmail (you need to be invited, but if you PM me your email address I can do that). It can either be used via a browser (from any computer) or you can download the emails into your favourite email application.
