Hi,



here in UK im on virgin cable (ex ntl) and ive had to switch to the new (improved) news server but there are no longer any posts visible in alt.binaries.schematics.electronics.



shame becuase there used to be some interesting stuff posted there.



anyone else finding it hard to get access there? im wondering what alternatives there are.

If you don't mind a small cost, Forte has a decent usenet feed for USD

2.95/month. You can use it when you're on the road too.

Try Motzarella, but not all post show up.

See my old post entitled: "NTL is s*it" Go to a decent ISP like IDNET or ZEN

It is working ok for me - showing 4 posts in one thread today. You /are/ using the binary server and not the text-only server?

theres little choice for broadband, but like i said already - I simply had the wrong group, the one with the s on the end is empty, I hadnt even noticed there were two until I looked more closely, anyone know why theres another aparently empty one ?
