Has ntl news servers packed up?
 

I cant see any posts, all groups are blank apart from the test email I sent.
Is anyone else having the same problem.

They have been poor recently; particularly the binary newsgroups. The
text.news.ntlworld.com account is better.

There is more information, and some hope he

he took over the controller's job from the last chap who made the mistake of
asking people with complaints to email him. Taplin is less keen to respond,
but you should get a phone call from the manager responsible, and they are
very helpful folk, despite ntl's overall poor level of service

Plenty of grumpy people on ntl.discussion.broadband.cm at the moment. One
topic of discussion is the newsgroup issue, which I (along with others)
raised there recently.

What is the server name of your news-server? If it is with NTL it should
give you all the NTL groups too. I had some probs with news all last week,
but things are starting to get back to normal.

News.ntlworld.com, looks like a long way off from normal service here, all
groups are still blank, the server status says this has been resolved but it
will take a week for posts to appear, good old ntl bs.

Try text.news.ntlworld.com. I am now getting all recent posts on this
server, but it still seems to be the case that some posts from the problem
time are still missing.
