I use ATT and have just been informed that they've dropped
alt.binaries.orchids to block "child porn". Not sure I see the connection,
but does anyone know of any alternative providers or other accesses to
newsgroups.

Apologize as I know this issue has already been posted, but at the time ATT
didn't seem to be blocking groups. They just threw this at me with no
notification.

I have subscribed to Giganews for years now due to their fast access,
low cost and ease of use.

And yes Time Warner has dropped ALL Newsgroups, not just the .ALT
groups so I am very glad to have the Giganews.

I also have one from Forte'
