newsgroup vs comcast
 
Although I have contributed very little, I have always enjoyed viewing the
work of others. As of the 25th of this month I will not be able to view or
contribute due to Comcast deleting this feature from their system.
It has been a real pleasure and I wish the it would continue.
Many of you have posted some very beatiful and great achivements that you
have done in your home workshops and I want to thank you for sharing them
with all of us that have subscribed to this newsgroup.
The best to all of you and keep up the good work.

When verizon cut newsgroups to the current minimum and I was deprived of
abpw, I subscribed to news.astraweb.com. In June I paid $10 for 25GB of
downloads. I just checked and I still have 24.89 GB left to use for the
rest of my (or their) life. I must admit that abpw is just about the only
newsgroup that I am using on astraweb, other than a few textgroups. So it
serves my purposes extremely well!!

I did the same.

I am happy with astraweb. I like the idea of just paying once in a great
while.

It was necessary while living with the necessary evil, comcast.

Now owned by Giganews, and a shadow of its former self, certainly in
terms of fighting spam.

When the great exodus was launched by all the other ISP's, I looked
around and found usenetmonster.com. I get all the binary feeds I want
for $2.95 a month.

Other than being a satisfied (so far) customer of maybe three months
standing I have no connection with them.

I used usenetmonster.com, until I found APN... Same $3 a month..
Kept both for a few months and IMO, APN was more reliable and dependable so I
dropped usenetmonster.com YMWV
