Do you mean ta ta to the newsgroups, or to their news server (which is a
re-sold service from an external provider anyway these days)?

I got an email from Virgin on Monday which says:

"We wanted to give you a heads-up that the Usenet platform is being
removed from the Virgin Media service on 30th June 2021. After this
time you will not be able to add or remove content from the platform."

So I take it that they're removing the news server. No apology, no
more advice. Pity, because their broadband and cable tv are quite
efficient.

Could someone please recommend where I could now get Usenet access?

news.individual.net
not free but very cheap and very reliable indeed.
cheap is too expensive...
