ISP ending Usenet service: which free/cheap ones are best? http://usenet-news.net/
"AKT" wrote in message
... My ISP (ATT) just sent this: Please note that on or around July 15, 2009, AT&T will no longer be offering access to the Usenet netnews service. Does anybody know which free / cheap services are best? Comcast did the same thing months ago now. CHeck out these guys: http://usenet-news.net/ They allow you to buy bandwidth by the block, so I paid $10 about 6 months ago. For that sum I received 30GB of data transfer. I do freqent some binary groups, like alt.binaries.3d.poser, but even with those images I'm downloading, in that 6 months I've used less than 1 GB of data. At this rate, 30GB is going to last 15 years. Best $10 I've spent in some time. Their retention is good, though not all posts show up--in some instances I'm not seeing the first post in a thread, but can see all of the responses to that post and chime in if I'd like--good enough for me! |
