Verison News Servers??

[nick]

Anybody else out there find that newsgroups read from the
Verizon.net news server are out of date when compared to
the same groups from another server such as news.motzarella.org??

I would believe it if server is pulling them in as fast as I can download
them. :(

I think I saw a 114B/s download at one time Monday or Sunday.

Sounds like a lose nut between the keyboard and chair. :-D

Please do not tell my news reader that, it shows I have
$ wc -l .jnewsrc_motz
30581 .jnewsrc_motz

groups in my list.

Looks like they're getting rid of groups as we speak.

Verizon sucks. I use Forte for $2.95 a month and get
43,956 groups.

Can you read that many groups in a month?

Forte APN is a good service. Actually better right now for the money
is Basic Newsguy, which costs $40 per year for 10GB/month; unlike APN,
that price includes unlimited free header downloads, and what you
don't use in a month carries forward to the future. Other features:
Binary group retention is a lot longer than APN's, and the service has
its own binary group search/download web engine.

I have no vested interests in this stuff.

Well the site says 70,00 plus but it also shows the basic package
at 7.95 a month not $40/year.

No problems like that here. Seems to be pretty quick.
