Sorry if this seems a stupid question but if I change my current service provider (i.e. Tiscali to BT or Virgin) can I keep my current email address or will it become void when I cancel.
I did say it was a daft question but I was wondering if anyone offered to keep your existing addressess.

If you tell all your contacts, and repeat it every time someone mails your old ID (and they will), you should eventually stop receiving anything, and can let the account lapse.
Summary: I have tried changing my email address in "My Computing.net" by typing the new address and then pressing "set/change" but when I return the old address is still there. Maybe KTTD can help here ...
Summary: Depends which IP address you are talking about and whether you have a dynamic address or a static address from your ISP. You can change your private address, but there is nothing to be achieved by it....
