Comcast decided to take this opportunity to shed services without

To be fair, I would dump their ass for another company if I could. I
guess I am greedy too. Just you wait Comcast!

This group really saved me lots of pain and suffering.



Consult with your local 12-year old male.

Comcast may provide internet connectivity, but they don't have to be your
ISP. I use Comcast for internet connectivity but Earthlink is my ISP.
Earthlink, moreover, contracts out its newsgroup facilities to Giganews.

Earthlink is my ISP. Their high-speed access is provided via Time
Warner cable modem. Their newsgroups were not available when I was on
the road, so I subscribe to News.Individual.NET for about $16 per
year. They are based in Germany, so are free from the Bowdlerizing
nonsense that goes on other places. Also, the one time I had occasion
to write them about a problem with a restriction they had placed on
one of my favorite groups, I got a prompt reply from a real person. We
exchanged polite emails and they lifted the restriction.
