Re: News: Verizon KILLING their News Server!!!
I posted this over in the FiOS forums, so maybe it will help some of you:
If you don't download more than 50MB per day, Teranews gives you free access to their premium usenet service. Their servers are excellent, even the free one. You only have to pay a one time activation fee of $3.95.

| Whew! Glad broadbandreports.com sent me an email saying I had not visited in awhile. That made me log on. And since I use Verizon glad I checked the Verizon messages.
Seems I won't be able to get to alt.dbs.echostar to get the dish on DISH.
Off to another news server! |

They also won't disconnect you if you're in the middle of downloading something over 50MB. Let's say you're downloading a 200MB file, they will deduct the credit from your free account, and you just won't be able to download anything for the next 3 days. |
