Does anybody know if the upgrade has taken place yet?

IanUK · 04-03-2004, 11:50

I hope not, its no different here

DVS · 04-03-2004, 17:05

I presume not or I'd expect they'd have restarted the trial to see if there was an improvement.

So have we had our new Hardware installed, and which server should we now be using?

Thanks Pointman.

Seems much better in the last day or so - very nice

Who should I send new newsgroup requests to ?

One more thing - I'm using news.cable.ntlworld.com and have noticed a big improvement - should I now be using news.ntlworld.com or are they both now on the new equipment ?

Thanks in advance

Hmmm have more groups been cut?

Seems to be missing even more, groups that were on the trial server have disapeared...

bioboy · 10-03-2004, 09:48

Hope you are wrong, Foo Fighter. I will be well peeved if NTL have removed more groups when what we need are some of the old groups reinstated. I thought they were beginning to listen to their customers at last!

bioboy · 11-03-2004, 06:58

Yep. alt.binaries.multimedia, one of the largest groups, has been removed.

Just how NTL think this is them improving the service is beyond me. So come on, NTL, explain how this "addresses all remaining issues"?

One of the ways to make the servers faster is to remove half the data. Nice one NTL

This takes the ****, this trial was a joke

the servers are crap, you wasted everyones time... obviously you couldn't be bothered to do a proper job so were left with servers that are worse then before the trial started...

next time save everyone the trouble and don't even bother. Can we assume this trial was a failure? not one person is happy with them.
