Mine has been going for years, I get quite a bit of traffic too, but I
did retain a dial-up account. However, I haven't dialled up for months,
possibly not at all this year.

i got a few months - then they emailed me giving me the option of paying
£1.50 a month to keep them active.

it used to be that if you used dialup once a month it stayed live - but
that's probably a thing of the past.

I did this for a year or two, while I made sure that all my
contacts/subscriptions were advised of my new email address, then ceased it.
They shouldn't just pull the plug on you but hey, s**t happens...

You need to dial up at least once very 90 days

I've had the email when I haven't done

FWIW, Premium mail can be used with any email client - it's not just
webmail.
