I searched for an answer on this but couldn't find anything. I sometimes read the newsgroups on news.virginmedia.com. This works fine from my home connection. Since you don't need a username or password, I assume Virgin authenticate by IP address or something similar to this.
Away from my home connection I can't log-in since I'm no longer on Virgin's network. I was wondering if it's still possible to access the newsgroups e.g. by authenticating with a Virgin email and password? I've tried my old blueyonder username and password but this didn't work. Is the only way around this to use a different (non-Virgin) server?
You can log in using the same username and password you use for webmail. Try the main password and any primary alias as a username too.
If for text access you can also probably use Google Groups or get a free trial from somewhere. If for binary access buy the item you want to leech instead and get that warm fuzzy feeling of not ripping off copyright restricted material
