Right, I've finally had it up to here with NTL's bloody newsgroup servers. It looks like i'm gonna have to fork out for a subscription to a reliable NNTP service. Reccomendations please?

news.individual.net 10 euros/year, regarded as one of the best on the net for text only newsgroups. I used to use them, just haven't got round to subscribing since the service moved from being free earlier this year.

Hi.
There was a free server some time ago. It had a "de" suffix. I used it instead of ntl, but lost it when I change pc's. Wonder if anyone knows which one I am referring to?
