Nope this is @blueyonder.co.uk email from the old telewest domain. I was thinking a while back that at some point fairly soon after launch VM would be offering @virginmedia.com addresses, but this lame page has been up since 02/07 without change or progress :
http://www.virginmedia.com/help/virginemail.php so there doesn't seem to be any urgency from VM or perhaps just no user requirement there to pursue.
Nowadays I'm not really bothered about that because I have my own domains that I redirect to my blueyonder email inboxes..er when my VM services are working that is. If this current problem persists for any longer than the stated 5-10 working days I think I'll be dropping VM email entirely and running with GMail. The only problem doing this is everything under the sun that's registered for the @blueyonder.co.uk addresses that will require re-registration.
In my experience Telewest's BB and following on VM's BB after the takeover has always been good. It could be because I'm in a low subscribed area but I've never had a problem with internet speed / ping even when heavily VPN teleworking. However the email service has always been a different story for me which is unfortunate and that lets it down. I could be reaching the point of finally cutting that loose now..I guess I'll see what happens next week when VM IT are hopefully back on the case.
