Yup grab, I think he's dumb 4 sticking with them, it's a business email address - so even more reason to get a reliable service.(though that's not why I'm leaving him),

Thanks the Villan, useful to know that broadband is tied to your phone number.

I'm afraid I didn't understand most of the rest of comments :)   - but thank you. & I'm glad somebody knows what they're talking about.

Thank you
