I've been using Global 2000 as an Internet service provider for about a year, and although they've improved their service in many ways, they continue to have problems with their Usenet newsserver. Their newsserver is always missing articles -- very often, I'll see responses to articles that never arrive. (When I go to Alta Vista to search for the missing articles, I find a LOT of them.) On occasion, the server doesn't let me post articles, due to some internal error. This is unacceptable, and Global 2000 seems unable to solve the problems. So now I'm shopping around for a new service provider, and AlbanyNet appears to be a reasonable choice. If you use AlbanyNet, how happy are you with their service? Do you ever get busy signals or dropped connections when you dial in? How good is their Usenet newsserver? Do you ever seem to miss articles from a thread? Are there any other problems you've had? Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions. -----------------+--------------------------------------------------------- Joe Schwartz | My bumper sticker on the Information Superhighway: 5 Broadway #407 | Troy, NY 12180 | Harry Browne for President: The Third Candidate in 1996 xor@poboxes.com | For information, read http://www.HarryBrowne96.org/
