My provider outsources news service to Supernews >(http://www.supernews.com) and they will get me any group I want just for >asking. supernews has a web based interface also @ >http://www.remarq.com A couple of reasons. Access to more groups. Speed of service. Personally, I have no beef (yet) with access. I get what I want (within reason). Speed is another issue. Although I don't see *too* much of a slowdown (although it is noticeable) I am getting slower connections since the merger. I don't really want to switch ISPs but if I can't connect at and maintain 56k I might as well go where I can get that speed.
