Does anyone remember an ISP called "Onyxnet"?

Was there one in the UK called onyxnet.co.uk? I'm trying to figure out an old email address I had on Steam but it comes up with @o******.*** as the domain. This is from 2003 when I was potentially on an ISDN/BT Home Highway product.

If it isn't Onyxnet, can anyone have a guess at what it might be? TIA.

Bird brain. It's not onyxnet. It's outlook.com

Yeah, I was trying to recover an old Steam tag - my very first one. I thought I'd cracked it by guessing the log in name but not the password so when account recovery came up with the partial email address, I was flummoxed. As it turned out to be outlook.com, I managed to get the password but the Steam account turned out to be created in 2012, not 2003 like I thought. Which still leaves me puzzled because I'm pretty sure I had a Steam account back from 14 years ago when it first started. Maybe not.

I'm pretty certain about Onyx.net though but there's no info about it on the web.

I believe Onyxnet is now Pulsant.com

I'm sure Microsoft hadn't started using the "outlook.com" domain in 2003. I think it was still Hotmail or they were pushing the "Live" brand back then.

I think Steam purged old accounts at one point. I know for sure I had a steam account from pretty much day 1 of its release, I then went through a hiatus from gaming and internet usage in general for 6 years or so and when I tried to recover/find it I could not. Nothing registered against any of my email addresses.
