I am close to the end of my BT broadband and phone contract after nearly 20 years, so I am now considering alternatives. My immediate problem is my email address. I would like to retain my current address if possible. If I move away from BT can I retain my 'btinternet.com' email address or will I have to accept a new one from my new provider?

The free option is basically webmail.
The £7.50pm option will allow you the access you probably have at the moment via an email client, Outlook / Gmail / etc0 -

This is a good time to set up an email address that isn't tied to a broadband provider. You can then start to migrate all your correspondence away to this new address.You could choose a free platform like outlook.com or gmail.com, a paid service like protonmail.com, or you could even buy your own domain name and mail hosting from someone like mythic-beasts.com.Any of these will be cheaper in the long term than paying BT £7.50 a month.N.

Ozzig, Datz and OrizB, many thanks for your very helpful responses. I will need to do some price comparisons in order to make the right decision, taking into account your suggestions.
Thanks again.2
