I agree deecent speeds are obtained although its worth paying as you get access to nearly all groups.
Depends what your interests are I suppose.
Vicar said:Hmm I know where your comming from, I use BY servers, aint tried the Virgin, I thought they might just be mirrored though, I always heard the NTL ones were dire. But with so many files are now shared amongst various groups, I wasnt aware of anything I couldnt get from one group to the next.

modem is a Terayon TJ210
Vicar said:Do you use Blueyonder/Virgin servers for Usenet? They really are blinding fast... Retention is shocking 3 days or so, but if you keep on top of your downloads, I dont see the point of a paid subscription
Vicar said:Erm... connact Virgin and say you have an old modem not capable of 10meg before May I would think so it keeps you free of upgrading the modem and plead ignorance.... I am sure they charge for an upgrade for the old modem... I know I aint making much sense.... old BY customers got it for nowt on the 10 meg, so I am hoping it still applies till the 20 kicks in....
k-narf said:I rang VM earlier today and they said the upgrade only applied to 10 meg accounts. No current plan to upgrade 4 meg customers. Oh well, looks like I'm just going to have to wait till they can be bothered.
cheets64 said:You sure, I was on 10 meg (paying for 4 meg) during the trail.
Its
4 meg = 10 meg £3 extra a month
10 meg = 20 meg £3 extra a month
