Dear Comcast High-Speed Internet Customer:

As of October 25, 2008, the complimentary Comcast Newsgroups service, powered by Giganews, will be discontinued. This feature provided customers access to 2 gigabytes of newsgroup information on a monthly basis. After this date, these customers will no longer be able to access the Comcast Newsgroups service through Comcast. Customers who have subscribed directly to Giganews for newsgroup access will not be affected by this change.

While we have seen a decline in popularity of newsgroups as customers have chosen to get information from other sources, we know a small percentage of our customers continue to use newsgroups today. If you are interested in continuing to access newsgroups, Giganews is offering a special promotion for Comcast customers. Click here to learn more.

Thank you for being a valued customer.

Well folks, if I don't manage to find some other way back, I'd just like to say my short time here has been pretty cool, just like the show.

Paige, you rock!

No matter the ISP, you should be able to access this group via google groups at groups.google.com. That's how I get to it. Just run a search for alt.tv.seinfeld when you get there. Then you can access this group from anywhere you have internet connectivity. You may have to sign up for a google account, I'm not sure - but either way it's a very easy way to get to your favorite usenet groups.

Good luck, and lemme know if I didn't make any sense and you need help!

It is terribly annoying that many Isp's nurture the idea that Usenet is of waning value. Nothing on the web can ever be as convenient as Usenet groups. With a good Usenet client it is by far the best method to share thoughts and ideas on a number of varied topics.

You need to find a better Isp. Good luck with all that!
