Comcast has stopped usenet service in 2008 for all their customer's. I've been using the groups for years now and have always liked giganews for my provider. Yea, you have to pay, but it has been a premium experience so far.

So,what you are saying is I can,t use any binary newsreaders for downloading and managing articles from Usenet as long as I'm stuck with Comcrap...!

Thankyou for reading

Thanks David,So I'm paying for Comcast plus Giganews and using Alt.binz..?
If so isn't this getting a bit expensive?

Thankyou for your patience

Who in the right frame of mind would choose Giganews...
Anyway discussions if the whole package is expensive or not are for somewhere else.
