1) Possibly, but not definitely. You could ask CS to transfer the account to dial up, pay as you go whcih would keep it live uindefinitely at present, but that may change and if you don't dial in it could go dormant.

2) You can't use ntl servers to send email unless you are directly connected to their network via their dial up / broadband service. It's an anti spam / abuse security thing (which is a bit of a laught actually given the volume of spam some people get on their ntl accounts). You can still set your email addy to receive your ntl mail from another ISP's broadband, but if you want to reply, you need to amend your Outlook Express (or other email client) to use your new ISPs smtp server for the outgoing mail on that account.
