From: Jethro Pull on 10 May 2010 16:00 Look at what I just received. It's very sad. I wonder if there's a way to access USENET via the web:Dear Valued Customer: Effective June 30, 2010, Cox Communications will discontinue Usenet service to our subscribers. Declining newsgroup usage in recent years has highlighted the need to focus our resources on other priorities, such as increasing our Internet speeds and providing new services, including Cox Media Store and Share. We understand that our newsgroup subscribers may want to continue accessing Usenet. Therefore, we have worked with leading newsgroup service provider Giganews to offer special pricing for Cox subscribers. As a Cox subscriber you can take advantage of the following special pricing on Giganews service: 1. Giganews Diamond Plan: Cox customers will receive the Giganews Diamond Plan for only $14.99 per month for the first two months (a 50% discount) and 10% off the regular price beginning in the third month. 2. Other Giganews Plans: With plans starting at $2.99 per month, there are several options to meet your needs. Cox customers receive 50% off the first month of all other Giganews plans and 10% off the then current price beginning in the second month. 3. All plans provide a free 14 day trial* so you can try the service before you buy and there are no long-term contracts.

OP: You can pay for it, or you can point your groups to free servers as discussed on alt.free.newsservers. The ones I've relied on primarily since (derelict) ATT shutdown my usenet servers last summer: Eternal-September.ORG Albasani.NET but there are others. p "Law Without Equity Is No Law At All.

Excuse me very much, sir. No harm done except that I wasted some of your valuable time and got an answer that I needed: alt.free.newservers. Send me your hourly rate and I'll send you a check.
