Comcast has just announced that it will no longer offer free newsgroup

service?

Where have you been? This was on Comcast's web site about two weeks ago.

Start by looking in the appropriate newsgroup - alt.online-service.comcast.
This topic has been discussed quite a bit with a number of suggestions for
other NNTP services.

Good pick.

Not that many of us Comcasters hang out on their site. It was news to me
as to the exact timing; it's been in the cards for years.

Agreed this is not exactly a photo discussion. There's a nice list
posted by Mr. Romano.

The only time I see Comcast's website is when I log on to make a payment.
And I don't spend any more time on their lousy home page than necessary.
(Could they manage to squeeze in ANY more advertisements?)

I just today received an email notification from Comcast that they were
dropping newsgroups. I've known for quite some time, only because I read
about this ON a newsgroup, but I got my o-fficial notice today.
