I've been using newsguy for $5.95 a month. Works great.

my cable modem service came with a giganews account but I can't get to it from work.

I think you're on the right track. It's what I use and it's cheaper than NewsGuy. No [censored] groups,
but if you can accept that it's a fine service.

Same here; I've been using them for awhile. I'd never checked to see whether the [censored] groups were
there, though. ;-)

I've had an account there since 1998. I won't pay for a news server.

I got Qwest DSL in February and their news server is at least as bad if not worse than Prodigy's. At
the moment, I'm downloading a DivX movie (Rabbit Proof Fence) through a dozen free or open news
servers simultaneously; my DSL line is max'd out at 75KB/s. Some of the free news servers I list

hehehe...nice one BB!

Thanks for the tips (all of you), but news.cis.dfn.de hooked me up in under 48 hrs and the service
seems to be at least as good as I had....excellent! I'll keep Newsguy on file for future reference
should I did it.
