Frontiernet.net removed all binaries from it's newsgroup service. They claim they did this to improve virus protection. But this is the same company that refuses to do anything to filter out spammer viruses like swen. Obviously they lie. This had nothing to do with virus protection and everything to do with bandwidth and the bottom line. I expect a lot more with what I'm paying for DSL. A cut in service and still the same high fee for DSL? ...I'm switching to cable.
