Does SKY Broadband have free Newsgroups?

I am moving house and the new house does not have a cable. I am looking for alternatives to ntl. Sky looks a good deal, but does it have free access to Newsgroups like ntl?
If not it looks like the best alternative is Virgin (same Newsgroups/same server?)

Re: Does SKY Broadband have free Newsgroups?

Don't know about Easynet (sorry, Sky) but I used to have an account with http://news.individual.net/ until not too long ago. Yes its a paid service, but its only €10 per year and its infinately faster and more reliable than ntl's nntp server. This gives full access to all groups, expect (quote) "The newsserver does not offer binary groups and some alt.* sub-hierarchies".
