| Ohhh boy Why are there so many silly people in the world?
1. You want faster speeds but you want to pay for nothing. I have a feeling that some of those complaining loudly about price and access don't even know what newsgroups are.
Sadly everyone wants something for free...but the answer actually is, TWC will probably not raise rates as fast due to cost cutting...but then again it just might be a profit move.
2. What has driven this switch or drop of newsgroups? file sharing sites and peer to peer sites. 94% of all newsgroup traffic is what, files sharing...by total throughput.
3. For the person that has been using "newsgroups" since the beginning of the "Internet" it is unfortunate that in all that time you didn't figure out that if your ISP stopped offering newsgroup access, you don't need to "subscribe to a service.
4. FOr the guys that think VZ's newsgroup access is top notch. Evidently you don't know newsgroup access or have never used it. VZ's newsgroup access is sub standard for sure. |

I fall into this category, but I also recognize that USENET today is nothing like what it was 15 or 20 years ago. As far as my needs are concerned, it's outlived its usefulness, like gopher, archie, and a whole host of other tools.
