ntl don't value ANY customers. Not many big businesses do.
Since the new newsservers were brought online about a year ago I have hardly had a blip in the service and retention and completion has been FAR better and I'm a heavy downloader, so I don't know what problems you're talking about. Perhaps you can tell me what the problems were? As far as other ISPs are concerned a working newsserver with nothing on it is of no use to anybody.

Yes, I know you can access newsgroups with any ISP. I've been with Easynews for a couple of years (use them for fills, stuff I missed etc) and would recommend them unreservedly. Of course you have to pay for them unless you use somebody else's password like you.
