Newsgroup Limitation

It's all about the children:

Time Warner is shutting down -all- usenet access for me this month.

I switched to individual.net after discovered that Comcast block usenet access from outside (e.g. when traveling with the laptop). I still got access to alt.*.

Check out Supernews:

Fix you right up, they will.

Supernews is now Giganews, which isn't half as good. I use them, but am moving in a couple of weeks to news.individual.net. It should offer better service at a similar price.

??? Supernews is still Supernews as far as I can tell; Giganews is something else entirely. A spin-off company maybe?

Do you actually think someone cares about Usenet?

Back when I was a sys-admin at a major ISP in the late 90's, they were already calling it a non-investment service.

Elected officials will totally ignore you, as they can also care less about Usenet.

You could try this ISP. I believe they cover most of the U.S. now. They still believe in this stuff.

news.individual.net works well, fast, etc. the only downside is that retention of messages is quite low - like a few week into past. at list on the groups I care of.

When all the majors are gone, where will the traffic come from?

They cut ALL the alt. groups I think.
