no not at all i used to have virgin it just has some selected newsgroups
a lot of the servers aren't covered amount of times i double clicked an nbz
and for it to say article does not exist and also the completion rate is absolute pants.I really only see the point of having any more than 2mb if you
get good news servers not like anything much over 2mb makes a difference in online gaming also bt upload is faster i average about 50kb sec on virgin i got around 38.
yes bt is basically news.giganews.com
I know it's mental yes and i cant quite believe what im saying either
but basically if you like downloading a lot get bt unlimted the server is speed capped at around 1.4 mbps but at least you can get what you want when you want and it's complete and there for a long time.

BT offering free Giganews is pretty nice, but in my area you would be lucky to get a 2mb BT ADSL connection anyway.
I'm on VirginMedia and i don't mind paying £10 a month for giganews as it is well worth it along side the 20Mbs connection, just need newsleecher to support the 200 day bin retention :D
 
Just noticed newsleecher does support 200 days, sure it was only 140 a few days ago. not complaining though! :)
