If so, how do I get the virginmedia.com address ? - and just as important, how do I stop someone else from getting it ?
From what I understand so far - for any existing e-mail addresses you will have the choice of EITHER keeping @ntlworld.com OR swapping it for a @virginmedia.com address.

For any new addresses after the platform change they will then be only @virginmedia.com

No-one can currently create a @virginmedia.com address with an existing e-mail from any of the 3 legacy domains (e.g. john.smith@ ntlworld.com/blueyonder.co.uk/virgin.net)

The biggest issues comes with who out of the three legacy domains gets the @virginmedia.com address. So if there is john.smith on all three e-mail platforms who gets the @Virginmedia.com address.

As of yet I'm not sure how they are going to solve that one!
