Switching from Virgin

Gathergood

Been Virgin customers from day 1. Will we lose our ntlworld.com email addresses if we switch?

I lost my ntlworld.com email account when I had to start a new virgin  account in my name. Previously the virgin account had been in my fathers name. So I think you will lose any access to that account.

Almost certainly.

Set up a GMail/Yahoo/Outlook.com email and next time you move provider you don't have to worry about losing it

Thanks for replies. What internet speed do we require for 2 TVs, 2 IPads using WiFi and only downloading films, no gaming?

Have you checked what speeds are actually available at your address ??

VM is a totally different higher speed network .

Use the Address Checker here (as it probably wont recognise a Virgin phone number):

BT Broadband (btwholesale.com)

Move to Sky from Virgin over 4 years ago, and I still have my ntlworld.com address. But a word of warning I do get a vast amount of spam emails to this email address since cutting my ties with Virginmedia.

Can you send emails from this ntlworld account ?

Don't mean to highjack, I'm moving from Virgin, do I need a landline to have BB, currently, I'm looking for a new BB supplier

JJ_Egan

No or yes .

No if you use mobile network or  satellite .

Yes if you use standard BB service you need the so called landline for the data to travel down .

Usually bundled with BB contract pricing .

Hello JJ

I had a Virgin package, BB, LL, TV, I've cancelled TV & LL, but kept the BB @£31pm for 50mg, just wondering if I need to keep the LL
