ATT follows the herd, and drops the rest of the alt groups.
 

They dropped binaries a week or two ago- looks like the rest of the alts
are gone now. This probably won't post.

So in the words of Les Nesman, we are off the air!

I'm with AT&T, and my 11 subscribed alt groups are fine.

1. Mine started working again after I yelled at the tier-1 helpdesk
drone via the chatroom. So he was either clueless, or following
tomorrow's script and they may still go bye-bye. He did insist on
following his script and typing in the whole cover story about the child
porn being the supposed reason for dropping binaries. I had to keep
interrupting and telling him I wasn't talking about the binaries. (If
they wanna costs, just SAY they are cutting costs. Don't **** on my leg
and tell me it is raining.)

2. Which ATT? They still haven't really combined all the various ATT
ISPs, but they are getting closer. (Look at the drop-down box on the
webmail interface for a list.)

aem sends, fingers crossed, but starting to look at news server web
pages....

The former Bellsouth. In a conversation with tech support on a different
issue, I asked when I could expect my domain name to change from
bellsouth.net to at&t.net and he didn't have a date, but said 'soon'.

Funny you should mention that.

I called ATT to ask about getting call forwarding added to my phone
service.

They, of course, asked who I used for my broadband. I told them I was
using Charter. They wanted to sell me a 6G package. I told them that
if they improved their Usenet service I might consider switching.

I still may switch, because it is a good deal without Usenet, but
Charter still offers unlimited binary Usenet access. (It is throttled
to 2-256k connections, but it works out to be 80G of binary free)

Any package that offers that would cost 15 bucks. I don't use 80G
most months, but some months I come close.

Actually, I am still on sbcglobal.net
and I have a friend that is still on the
older ameritech.net. I have heard they
don't plan on changing us. Of
course, new people get att.net. BTW, I
am in the Chicago area.

Not here (at least not yet) I'm on ATT and reading the alt groups.

And some will be missed.

Others not.
