Antiquated service in an ever-competitive service.

You can subscribe to newsgroup servers for pretty cheap and they won't be "limited".

I'd probably go with a Silver account for $12.99

Shame the 20% off is only for the first month. So the special deal is $2.60 off. Woohoo, 6 games of Indiana Jones!  :D

So I lose newsgroups and have to go sign up for an external service at the cost of $156 per year, Verizon gets terrabytes less traffic across their network, and I get to stick my thumb up my.... lan port. Just awesome  :applaud:

 :angry:

I'm surprised they had those groups available at all.  I lost free access 6.5 years ago according to my Easynews stats.  I'm paying $15 for almost 60 gigabytes per month and much better retention/completion than I ever got from free servers.

Seems to me that FIOS + alt.binaries.* = quick trip to bankruptcy.

SirPeale:
If you don't need binary service, you can use a free group.  Since reading this thread, I checked out news.aioe.org.  It has all the alt groups I read, so I'm happy now.
