Not a wanadoo customer (is that the old freeserve?) but I do have Orange mail (purely for the convenience I get an sms when mail hits my inbox) altho I'm very select who I give the addy to.

If that happens, wannadoo customers may be a bit miffed that there aliases may not be available. Orange already offer an email service with the *@orange.net tld

Good question!

I have an orange email too. However, orange planned to change the orange mobile email service to another name called 'Wire'. Did you recieve their newsletter about this?

When the change is complete, Wanadoo (Freeserve) customers will be given orange.net email addresses.

I really think that orange should use @orangeworld.net or .co.uk for mobile customers.

So does this mean Telewest cable T.V will change. Will they have new boxes?

to the Forum.

No, it doesn't mean any change. All that is being wound up is the shell of a company left over from Telewest's bankruptcy restructuring last year. Your service won't change at all as a result of this.

As Telewest is technically a division of NTL, NTL will just transfer all assets over to NTL and any debts lerking about in the Telewest division will just go into liquidation together with any brand names that NTL doesn't want to use.

Your service is not likely to change, the prices and packages may vary next year when the company has decided what to call itself. I think they keep the following:

NTL Home
NTL Business
NTL World
Virgin.net
Teleport
Front Row (Until all areas are phased out)
Flextech

They will probably not keep:

Telewest Broadband
Telewest Business/Imminus
Blueyonder
Blueyonder Workwise

Telewest is technically no such thing! The buy-out has been announced but will not occur until well into 2006. As of now, Telewest is an entirelyt independent company.

The best thing you can do is take the certificates down to the high street and go into a bank (any large branch should have a share dealing sevice). However if these are old Telewesty shares, you may find they are practically worthless now.

Pretty much. The company almost went bankrupt after borrowing too much money. The settlement involved the creditors being handed most of the value of the company. Still, you might get a couple of pennies, take them to a share-dealing bank and ask. You've nothing to lose, and you might at least get a pint out of it.
