Newsgroups and AT&T
I was thinking of swithing my ISP to AT&T, but, I seem to remember somone saying that they don't allow for newsgroups. Is that true? If so, are there alternative methods of viewing the pics?

You can thank the liberal dimoRat New Yawk asswipe lawyer Andrew Cuomo for this nationwide ban experienced by a large number of NNTP users. With the degenerate kiddy porn lovers occupying 0.08 percent of the postings, it was a national emergency to screw millions of users rather than go after the pervs. I have used a premium Teranews account in years past. They are OK, but don't carry the full number of newsgroups. I'm currently with NewsGuy. Still formulating an opinion on them. At this time, I am happy with 'em (but leaving myself some wiggle room for the future). |

Thanks guys. It looks like what you are saying, is that any money I'd save
by switching to AT&T, would be spent on getting a subscription to another additional service. Hardly seems worth it. Ron "Lee" wrote in message . 82...

But at last count there were at least 35,000 groups TN didn't carry. I'd rather a premium service carry *all* available groups and let me be the one who decides which ones I'd "carry." I'm kinda thick about things like my money. |

Its absolutely true, No alt.binaries groups can be accessed. This happened
early in July almost without notice. I am still with AT&T but use usenet for my newsgroups.... Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

EarthLink allows most newsgroups

I know, I use Earthlink. But, $40 for 1.5 mbps is a bit much, compared to AT&T at $25. I can get twice the speed, and still pay less than I do at Earthlink. Right now, the only advantage of Earthlink, that I can think of, IS the newsgroups. I know, we aren't talking big money here, but I think I can do better. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I will have to check into those options once I switch over.

Ron Ron, one other thing to know and consider. ATT does not promote, and will barely discuss what I've done... Ask them about a "dry loop." You can get more bang for the buck for less money (the region I'm in, the cost is much less). For those who read this and want to change to a dry loop, let me know... I have some advice that needs not be addressed here until you get serious about it. I didn't know what it was until I pressed them on it. Some of the folks herein may already know all about it. Basically, it is a single dedicated line that will not support any "land line" phone access. That's good for me. I don't need a house phone... I don't need the TV access they offer in their packages... I have a cell phone with a different outfit. Don't need any of that add-on crap. Mr. Nice Guy, Lee |
