Netsource and Usenet server ?

Piliger

What are Netsource people doing for usenet access ?

Any ideas ?

While I'm not on Netsource yet, I've been using http://news.cis.dfn.de/ for years on IOL NoLimits (Esats News servers aren't very good). This is a very good news server with a very large selection of groups.

I called Netsource on Monday about access to the newsgroups, at first they gave me the VIA networks news server which is news.via-net-works.ie, but when I was unable to logon, I called Netsource back who then told me that I would not be able to logon to this server, Hum?

Cheers

So:

http://news.cis.dfn.de/
news.vianetworks.co.uk

Are these free and fast updated with Irish groups too ?

I have a sub to teranews.com which costs about 5 euros a year, but it is very slow to update.

Just use news.cis.dfn.de it is free.

Sorry carb

Maybe it's because our DSL connection is a business one.
