Stu did you get on the trial ?

I didnt think you were an NTL customer ?

I found the trial to be quite poor but i accept it was a trial. I advise anyone who goes on a products trial to expect the worst (its a trial after all)
I have found the server to be brilliant lately (crosses fingers)

The question i would have to ask NTL and the guys who ran the trial is....why consider offering another version of newsgroups which carry binaries?

AFAIK the only companies that offer a good standard of news service (bin included) are the ones who charge for it. The best i know for value is Clara.

A good news service is not a pre requisite of an ISP imho. Maybe it should be and yes it used to be. But the strain and demand of news servers these days would make a good free service un-economical
