Though that _may_ have improved in the last few weeks.) My mum may be a special case, being left until last (that's what PN thought when I spoke to them a month or so ago) because a) she's got a force9.co.uk address rather than a plus.com address, and b) she's got a web site and domain hosted with PN (which PN swear blind will transfer seamlessly - and the editor's decision on that is final!) We've with PN as well (plus.com addresses) and we've been migrated to greenby. I can still use Windows Live Mail on my Windows 7 PC, and AFAIK there's encryption apart from in the POP password. I use Thunderbird on my Win 10 laptop, and Samsung's "Mail" app on Android. So all using POP3 with no encryption - standard Port 25 and 110. >> because BT Openreach are stopping it, and are recommending EE for VOIP >> service. Fine.

Our mobile reception is dire, despite a phone mast on a hill about 1/2 mile from us, but at least we can get mobile-phone-over-internet... and away from home it's fine. Mobile reception got *dramatically* worse when Vodafone switched off 3G the other year. As for 5G... well, I've heard rumours that big cities have it. ;-)
