Re: **MERGED** No newsgroups server?

When will the news servers be repaired so they can revert to downloading what I require in 2 mins? What took 2 mins a few weeks ago is now taking me 5 hours and more. I moved from dial up to cut down the download times but it's now worse than that was. It's just taken me 5 hours to download about 75% of what I require which is totally unacceptable performance.
In the last few months only the server running the trial performed adequately, but once the trial was over even this server address started to have problems. I've tried various addresses but they're all the same very poor performance.
Now I see that ntl is going to offer a hush hush media package. This is rediculous when they can't even get the exisiting system working correctly (the news servers). This is certainly a case of running before they can walk. I for one don't want the media package, just the service that they specified they'd provide.
