Time to cancel service, since 60$ + 20$ for news service = bullshit.
I somehow doubt they will reduce price of their service because of this... | |

| Re: No one cares about children... only money said by graysonf  :You can get awesome news for $6/month. Where? Because I am ticked off now. One of the reasons I switched from OOL to Fios was because OOL had crippled their newsgroups to dial up speed.
I think I will cancel my VZ cell phone because I never use it and put the money to a third party newsgroup subscription.
Frankly I think the attorney general in NY should be forced to get VZ FIOS customers a discount from VZ since we got the shaft. Typical vote getting by the NY AG. Come election time he will be boasting about single handedly removing kiddy porn from the entire internet.
He wont mention that he just got $$ from some major ISP's because he enabled them to cut a big chunk of the internet from their service and keep the price the same.
I see this as the beginning of ISP's supplying only the part of the internet that they want to and using the old kiddy porn excuse to save themselves money. | |

| Re: No one cares about children... only money If you only care about text groups and not binaries you can get from Altopia: »https://www.altopia.com/expricing.html
Their binary retention stinks (only about 9 days) but they keep about a year's worth of text posts. | |

Binaries for me. I will probably go with EasyNews or NewsGuy since TWC RR's news/usenet server gets the axed on 6/23/2008.  | |

I have never had a problem with it (except the occasional "Too many connections reached" error.) Plus its free. Why complain?? | |
