Failure to supply contract - last time I renewed

[#1]

My other reason for wanting to get away from TT, was the personal data leak they suffered, when they were hacked. As a result of the leak, my phone number and TT email address were flooded with scam calls, and scam emails. It was so bad, I had to fit a caller block on my phone, and spend hours filtering the spam/scam emails. Yet TT denied my details had been hacked, and refused compensation.

TT sent me several emails, suggesting they would be terminating my email, which bothered me not at all, given that it was useless to me, given the spam - so I never paid them to keep it open, why would I?  The monthly cost was just silly, almost as much as keeping them as ISP.

I visited TT webmail out of curiosity, yesterday evening, just to see if it was still working. It was, but there was a recent email from TT, again threatening that there entire email service for everyone, would soon be terminated, and offering an alternative.

Interesting - I'll have to ask my friend if he's had a similar warning.

@jab1 Re TalkTalk emails, I have an ancient Tiscali email address (from a time in ancient history when I had Tiscali internet connection, possibly dial-up!) that migrated to TT. It still works and is free. I can only send emails (I think) if I use the web mail interface but can receive fine using an older Windows email program.

@HPsauce I saw that elsewhere. 😀 . It is many, many years since I forgot my Tiscali email account, but as I have said, a friend of mine who was with them was informed - and discovered - that to retain it, he would have to pay, which he still does, despite attempts to get him to change.
