Hello to the group,

My current ISP Com(NOT)cast(IC) has decided to cancel access to newsgroups
for subscribers effective October 25th. Nice eh? Of course, there is no
change in our monthly payment. Sweet. They were kind enough to provide a
link to a service that costs up to $30.00 per month for a newsgroup feed.
:-o

Anyone have suggestions for a free newsgroup feed service? Is it easy to
access? Can you provide a link, or the website address to signup? Thanks in
advance and all the best to you and yours!

Hey Steve... Normalized after Ike yet?
The store in Houston that I do web work for (Arne's) is still closed and hopes
to reopen in a few weeks..

I don't know of any free services, but I recommend APN....
It's only $3 a month..
Good service, all groups that I read are supplied, good retention, no ads,
etc...

And the user interface sucks bigtime (no killfiles, etc.)

Teranews: Cost $4 one timme fee.
Glorb.net: cost $10 a year (that's what I use)
Some people use aioe.org - free.

Steve

Try this. Works for me and is better than that provided by my ISP.

They don't do binaries.

Hello Mac,

Thanks for the tip... Yes, we are (well mostly) back to normal after Ike. My
Internet service goes down almost every day for some period of time, but
that's about the only lingering thing for us. Our storm debris has even been
picked up, so we're getting back in the groove.

We were lucky to have sustained no damage to our home or property, other
than a bit of fencing that was blown down. Several neighbours near me had
trees blown into their homes, or garages. We lost small limbs only, no trees
at all. I'll take a look at APN... Thanks again.

Hello Max,

I guess there's no free lunch... :-( I don't mind paying a little, but
$30.00 per month for a newsgroup feed is unacceptable. I'll take a look at
your suggestions. Thanks again and best wishes to you and yours!

See:

I use individual.net. It's not free, but it's really inexpensive. No
binary groups, though.

You are most welcome Steve.

Google isn't just a search engine anymore. I don't use all the google
features (ex: gmail) but for free and readily available from any
internet PC, it's hard to not notice it has its uses.

Hubby and I both are computer engineers. We don't always agree (he
keeps trying to get me into gmail but I already have 5 email
accounts!), but we often agree on user friendly things, especially
when they are friendly on the wallet.

Best wishes to you too!
`Casper
