ISP question

[Jerakl]

So my family is looking from Telus (stupid shills) to Teksavvy, who I've heard are about the same (much better speeds/price afaik).

 

Anyways, my dear mother uses telus webmail as her email (<insertdesirednamehere>@telus.net).

What she's most worried about is not being able to use her email if we switch ISPs. So what I want to know is if we switched ISPs would it affect that?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

TL;DR

If we switch away from telus for ISP (but not for phone) will the email address still work?

Possibly not. I have a friend who still has a damned @bellsouth email.

No Jerakl, it has nothing to do with that. I could do XXXXX@fuckyourself.com and it would still work.

yeah...the ISP email stays with the ISP it is from...

if you quit that ISP, that email is gone too, because it is part of the contract

[Th3 Mans1ay3r]

Also TBH she shouldn't be using an ISP email as her primary email. Set her up with a gmail or outlook.

This^ Although they should give you an option to keep that email, just you have to pay for it. I still have my AT&T email even though I haven't had AT&T for years, but I have to pay a small fee to keep it(yearly).

That's what I said

Got he to agree that she should switch.

No you can use your original isp's email it doesn't matter.

you wont get to keep the email.... the onty way to keep it is to continue to pay for the cheapest internet plan they have... but thats just pointless...
