Hi My NG Server--at least one of the two--is often quite a ways behind in the posts it produces. The other--news.individual.net--while much more up to date, is now moving to a fee based service.
While I do not mind paying for the service, the server my ISP provides-the one I already pay for- is the one that is behind. The news.individual.net would be a second one to pay for, and, if I am going to pay again, I am looking for the most reliable one for the best price.
Hence, this post.
I would appreciate any and all information and experiences.

Wow, that $12/year they want to charge sure makes it a critical buying decision!

This post is completely offtopic. Just because you read this newsgroup from a usenet server doesn't make it topical. Why don't you go ask in alt.free.newservers or somewhere else that's relevant to the topic?

I'd be glad to share mine with you in the appropriate group. This isn't it.

I've been with Newsguy since about 1998 and have been very happy with them.

Me, too. It's $40/yr for the basic Newsguy plan, and includes groups that individual.net doesn't have (binaries), as well as a couple of free email addresses, and excellent spam-filtering for the news and email.

======================= Try x-privat.org. The site is in English and Italian. It's free and works great. :-) Another freebie is shared-secrets.com, check them out. --

I use teranews - one time 3.95 payment and then it's free. Up to 50 megs a day, which since I don't do binaries, is plenty! I've been using teranews for about 5 months now, has worked great the whole time.
news.central.cox-net. Hope I don't sound [censored].
Also use Outlook Express for the access.
Not sure what I'll do tomorrow. A girlfriend couldn't find my number, and ended up calling my dad. She thought he was me, he didn't know who she was, and my mother was [censored] about the whole thing. I suspect I will catch hell from my Dad tomorrow, and I didn't do anything.

Hi I have tried the teranet and it seems fine. Meanwhile my cable company says their service will get better.....I have to keep reminding myself they are a cable company.....
I also use msnnews and it seems fine for some groups--this one not being one!
The x-private server also seems OK. Its current message count for this group is at 3565(basically from about March 1st) while the teranews is at 10269(basically from Feb 1st). My cable company server shows from Feb 19th to April 9th...agent does not provide a total message count, at least as far as I can see and I use that software for that account.
FYI too. I still have not decided. To me this is important as I think usenet is the best part of the internet....people helping people, as they say.
