Just received this email...
We wanted to give you a heads-up that the Usenet platform is being removed from the Virgin Media service on 30th June 2021. After this time you will not be able to add or remove content from the platform.
We hope you want to continue enjoying your Virgin Media service. If not, call us on on 150 from a Virgin Media home phone or mobile, or 0345 454 1111 by 30th July to cancel your contract without early disconnection charges.
Kind regards,
The Virgin Media team
... clear enough notification.
However what's not clear, is whether physical access to postings on news.virginmedia.com will be no more? The email states and I quote " After this time you will not be able to add or remove content from the platform"
... again its not clear whether this will be a complete nuking of the entire newsgroup platform or as stated, just the ability to add and remove content?
