Hello

I am afraid that the Virginmedia news service is no longer offered and has been withdrawn.

Hello Bandit1294

 

Thanks for taking the time to post in regards to Usenet  access issues.

 

As advised in the link provided by Graham_A we sent notification of the removal of this service via email back in May of this year. Apologies if these weren't received and for any inconvenience caused.

I use the "eternal september" free news server. It works great for text groups - it wont be good for binaries etc though
