Yes that is correct but what I was saying is that the new customers getting the virginmedia.com addresses will not be able to choose those names if there is already one existing on any of the 3 current mail services.

I would imagine there would be joe.bloggs2 or joe.bloggs3 reserved if the same address was around on the different platforms.
