Just a friendly reminder - Comcast NG support goes away 10/25.
Some years ago, when I saw various problems with my RoadRunner usenet
server, I signed up with Forte for $3/month. It's been working great.
I signed up with giganews, for about twice that.
Most other servers routinely lose 10% of the messages.
I've never seen performance that bad.
Comcast lost a goodly percentage of my posts to a certain moderated
newsgroup and delayed them all about half a day.
Giganews seems to be more timely and more reliable.
Comcast would lock up their news server for a random amount of time, usually
the better part of minute, every time I posted. Giganews provides nearly
instant response.
I pay $3.95/month for Supernews (text-only newsgroups) and they have
been extremely, extremely reliable, responsive, and friendly. Their
level of service is largely unheard of in this day and age. I highly
recommend them.
