Please forgive this rant but I am feeling fed up with Demon to whom I
have been loyal for a very long time. And if you answer this thread I
won't be able to see it! :-( But I just wondered how many others who
have Demon as ISP are no longer able to receive this newsgroup.

I'm using Demon and can see this newsgroup. The main difference is
that I am also using lots of other Usenet providers at the same time!


There are many free news servers so you don't have to depend on Demon.


If you are thinking of leaving Demon it's worth noting that they
provide very, very reliable connectivity. It just their news server
that is unreliable.


I'm on demon, but getting news via Motzarella, thanks to the thread
which Janet started on this problem, which I saw via gardenbanter -
thanks Janet, and to whoever suggested motzarella

I've also emailed Demon about it, in the hope that if enough people
complain, they might realise they still have a user base for usenet.

It seems a lot of us old urglers are or were with Demon. I left Demon
last December after many, many years with them. I may have
misunderstood but I thought they were bought by an oversea's company,
Dutch?
