Family Forum / Marriage / Marriage / November 2008Ping YooperB: no more comcast
Hey YB, I am curious which source you are using for winmail newgroups since comcast discontinued newsgroups. Also google is having major probs, so I need to find yet another source. Any suggestions? Thanks. Vickie > Hey YB, > I am curious which source you are using for winmail newgroups since > comcast discontinued newsgroups. Is that now a fact (for Comcast Internet)? (just asking if you know that for sure, Vickie) >> Hey YB, >> I am curious which source you are using for winmail newgroups since >> comcast discontinued newsgroups. > > Is that now a fact (for Comcast Internet)? (just asking if you know that > for sure, Vickie) Yes it is a fact. I spoke with a comcast rep yesterday. But then here I am posting through it. I suppose eventually I will not be able to, but the date set for discontinuing was Oct. 25th.

I gave up on ISP based news servers years ago (as in 7 or 8 years!). Most of them are / were crap, never carrying all the groups, not carrying the groups I was interested in, and / or frequently dropping posts! The answer is here: http://news.individual.net/ They DO NOT carry "binaries" or "Porno" - which is ideal for access at work. And it is only 10 Euros per year. The service has proven to be rock solid bullet-proof reliable. Absolutely worth every penny. hth NewMan :) >>>> Hey YB, >>>> I am curious which source you are using for winmail newgroups since [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Hi Vicki!

I will look into it.

See, time is quite timeless over here. One thing I have plenty of, and maybe too much of, is.... time. (you want some?

A friend had recommended Newsguy.com and I've been happy with them since. If you mostly visit the text groups you can probably get by with google or one of the freebie site if there's still a few floating around, but then you're stuck with google or the free stuff isn't always going to be there. With the recent changes at Comcast I noticed Newsguy was promoting a special on their site that gives new Comcast sign-up a free month. They had a trial account too if anyone was still looking for a newsgroups replacement. Fred -- > Any suggestions?

It works good! |
