Virgin's Usenet?

Hi guys,

Has anyone else noticed that we have access to stuff as old as 400+ days now? I've been paying for astraweb but I am going to cancel it now, seeing as I get similar service for free!

Use this tool to check: http://members.home.nl/yencbin_poste...nload_checker/

Load the server and nzb into that and it'll check if the posts are on the servers if you don't believe me. :P

Seems VM has just paid highwinds-media to let virgin users connect to their servers, a traceroute shows news.virginmedia.com going to the exact same server that the premium hosts use (e.g. newsdemon and usenet-news)

Thanks,
internetguy
