All news servers use Port 119


Feedback received on this FAQ entry:
  • It seems as if Shaw has turned off its news servers as of 2016-03-01. My usenet client started throwing errors, and after a reboot informed me it could not connect. I hope I'm wrong, but frankly I'm surprised they kept them on this long - especially since no Tech Support person I've ever spoken to even knew Shaw had a news feed.

  • At least some - if not all - of the listed servers do not work anymore. The Shaw website gives no results when searching for "usenet", "news groups", "newsgroups", "news server" etc. A phonecall to Shaw pointed me to "news.shawcable.net" and that works for me. On a side note, the Shaw support person was not at all familiar with newsgroups and told me, I was the first person ever to call about this.
