    While I'm not on Netsource yet, I've been using http://news.cis.dfn.de/ for years on IOL NoLimits (Esats News servers aren't very good). This is a very good news server with a very large selection of groups.

    I called Netsource on Monday about access to the newsgroups, at first they gave me the VIA networks news server which is news.via-net-works.ie, but when I was unable to logon, I called Netsource back who then told me that I would not be able to logon to this server, Hum?

    Cheers

    So:

    http://news.cis.dfn.de/
    news.vianetworks.co.uk

    Are these free and fast updated with Irish groups too ?

    I have a sub to teranews.com which costs about 5 euros a year, but it is very slow to update.

    Sorry carb

    Maybe it's because our DSL connection is a business one.
