Hi the

Comcast has notified me that they will cease as of Oct 25, 2008 to carry all
and any of the newsgroups.

They have offered a continuation via a third party. The price for this, is
unknown to me at this time. I also know that Comcast will not reduce it's
bill for me due to it's discontinuation of this valuable service.

I will miss all the posts, the photos, the comments, etc from this group.

Until that time, take care all

I went w/ APN for 12 gigs/month for $2.95 ...

Headers count toward the monthly quota ...

Support has been good the few times I had questions ...

Lots of other options available, depending on how much you
d/l on average each month ... I'm sure there are more sites
than the ones I'm going to list:

http://www.newsgroupservers.net/

http://www.geeks.org/~ed/Usenet_Servers.html

http://docs.newzbin.com/index.php/Usenet:ISP_Providers

http://www.newsgroup-binaries.com/

https://www.supernews.com/signup/ - shows the
various packages and pricing.

If you need LOTS of retention, you'll most likely pay
more ... if not, you should be able to find a relatively
inexpensive news service ...

Check home pages for up-to-date pricing, some give a free
trial, ask in alt.binaries.news-server-comparison ... just
ignore the garbage that you might see there ...

I have the 5.95/5GB/Month package from Supernews. Have had it for
several months now, and have not experienced any downtime or lag at all.
Seems to be a pretty decent service.
