Plusnet

I've moved to plusnet today from AOL so all ready to start but have a few queries....
When I filled in the forms I stupidly used my name and date of birth as my username so that forms part of the plus net email address and i obviously don't want to use it as a general email address.

Can I still use my aol email address?

    Some ISP such as O2 you can retain the email address.
    Send an email to yourself for starters, see if its still active.

    If it is still active make an enquiry to AOL and see how long for.

    Yes as long as you sign in at least once every 90 days

    Use Gmail, then you are no longer ISP-dependent.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
