  1. In case anybody on rbr uses Rogers.com, I just found out today that
    Rogers will no longer offer Usenet access as of Dec. 15 -->
    http://tinyurl.com/96tp4

    This, after they outsourced their Usenet stuff to Giganews last year.
    While I can still post through Google Groups, I won't be able to
    download stuff from abms. And ABMS is like a lifeline to me, since we
    get very little cycling coverage on TV here in Canada (TSN would
    rather show poker than cycling, since when did poker become a sport?)

    Time to shop for a new ISP I guess.

    Or just subscribe to Giganews.com for your USENET access ...

    Till you get a new ISP or can ante up $5 a month for excellent service
    like Newsguy.

    I used this:

    http://news.individual.net/

    when it was free and continue to use it now for about $10/month. Works
    very well.

    What's ABMS?

    One of the reasons news.individual.net is so cheap is they
    don't offer binary newsgroups. So alt.binaries.multimedia.sports
    isn't there.

    Look at Newsguy or Usenetserver.com, both are good IMO.

    compare available premium news servers
