Many reasons Graham, not the least of which is that I have a friend who
works for them, and is able to get problems resolved within the hour.
Also,
I have a 20 meg uncapped connection, and no other system than NTL cable
comes close to that. Up until now, I have never had a problem, but today,
I
started seeing error messages from the server sying that I could no
longer
post. This afternoon, messages from NTL started appearing on the groups,
saying that they had 'migrated' to a new binary server with better this
and
better that and to carry on, you would need to create a new account with
the new server name. Seems to me that this is bullshit, and all they are
trying to do is to get everyone over onto a Virgin Media server. I
created
the necessary account and did a full newsgroup header download in OE, but
the groups did not appear to be updating. Posts were again accepted, but
I
could not see them appearing, and it used to be pretty much instant on
the
good old NTL server.
I've just given it another try on OE, but this time, it wouldn't even
connect to their rotten new bloody server, so I came across to X-News,
and
that managed to connect ok, and I saw my posts, and the replies, so now I
am trying a 'reply'. I would prefer to get OE working correctly again,
because whilst X-News is a fine reader, i find OE a little better for
posting and thread watching, from a usability angle. Hopefully, normal
service will be resumed soon, and I will get back to normal on here.
Right
then, here goes ...

it was mentioned in another newsgroup that they changed news servers
and that caused all messages to be renumbered. They had to delete and
resubscribe each newsgroup they read to fix the problem.
