Fine here in FL through GigaNews.


Not in Ft Myers (Comcast/Giganews). It sometimes hangs for 20 or 30
seconds trying to find the server



No problems across the river in Cape Coral on Super News. I have the
SuperNews IP address plugged directly into the news reader which helps
to bypass our periodic DNS slowdowns.


AFAIK, Earthlink is still offline. I signed up with Teranews and they
had a short series of problems but are now back to 100%. I don't think
the ISP's give much attention to usenet due to the small percentage of
their customers who use it.
