I'd be surprised if they did this, but not that surprised. I think most people on this forum will agree that having an ISP email is utterly useless in this day and age. The free alternatives from Google, Microsoft, etc. are far superior and won't tie you into your ISP.

Virgin's newsgroups have limited retention (I think it's 30 days, it used to be just 7) and their reseller gets hit hard with takedown requests, so you have to be fast. It's worth paying the $10 a month for a better service.
