You don't say what the problem actually is, fireman. You may well get problems with ntl email without there being a mention on the status page; probably needs a day or so and it'll sort itself out.

If you're not happy with situations like that, the best answer is to find an alternative email provider - ISPs never seem to deliver reliable email services, and it also saves the resultant disruption if you want to change ISPs.

Best solution is to buy your own domain name and host that with someone who will provide email services - that way the domain name is yours, wherever you host it - you can keep the same email addresses (with a lot of providers you can have a very large number of them) indefinitely, however you change your services.
