Goodbye AT&T !

I'm already signed up for teranews free - and will be getting another newsserver , probably apn , in the near future . Just got the new ISP account set up , still need to get my router programmed and change mail server addresses on my desktop .

Fuck off spammer .

Congrats... but you'll still have to use motzarella or teranews or some other news service to get the groups... Comcast dropped their news servers too!

Had Comcast for a while now.. it is fast. My other choises here are a wireless wideband from the local phone company (prohibitvely expensive) or dial up through the local phone compnay (prohibitvely slow and expensive). I use a Vonnage through my Comcast so I don;t have to deal with local phone compnay. In our area any town more than about 5 miles away end up being long distance. Sorry, hey Shirley buy a couple rounds, I think I forgot in my last post.

make sure you save all your paperwork that prove the final bill to att has been paid. ATT has a terrible habit of coming back through a collection company and try to collect for final billls that have been paid. Search palisade collection company and att for the underhanded things they have done.

Will do , and thanks for the heads-up !

I still have att but I'm getting RMH and across the street with Giganews. It should still work after att dropes their service.

AT&T is history here , I even had 'em cut the phone service . It wasn't just the dropping of NG's , it was the lousy connection speeds , and every time it rains we lost 'net connectivity .

Nope, not a spammer---he's one of the good guys. Just venting his (likely well founded) frustration.

You might check out newsguy too. That is what I use, and those who have been displaced by AT&T dropping service get a three month connection for the price of one month.

This URL and comment was posted in the newsguy.general newsgroup a few days ago. Check out the URL and see whether it will do you any good.

Note that I don't work for them and don't get paid by them, but if you mention my name while signing up, I get some credit for future bills. But -- you don't have to mention it -- I won't be upset. :-)

Enjoy, DoN.

Chuckle!

Shoulda known! :-)

Yea. How many motorcycle pictures can you download in a month, anyway? ;-)
