    I haven't received any posts for a couple of days now so I'm guessing my
    ISP is having trouble. Has anyone else had any problems getting
    messages here?

  3. A few weeks ago, I went almost a month getting nothing.

    I get my newsgroups on Outlook Express, and actually had to uninstall and
    re-install certain things to get the newsgroups working again.

    But since my name isn't HyundaiTech, I don't think I was missed. When
    HyunaiTech had a similar problem some months back, he was missed horribly.

    I hear that come 10/25/08 Comcast is dropping all newsgroup services. What
    will I do then?

  5. Sign up with either www.motzarella.org or www.teranews.com or one of the
    other free or low cost news providers.

    I think I'm back now. My new ISP sucks (Frontier) and apparently
    decided to change news servers without telling their customers. They
    didn't take down the old server name, but just dropped its news feed.
    When I called support, the phone drone didn't even know what usenet or a
    news server was!! Sheesh.

    He finally went and found someone with a little bit of a clue and they
    gave me the new server name.

    This is just another in a long series of issues since epix was bought
    out by Frontier.
