Newsreader or feed?

Pipex's 'everything' news feed is shite - but news-text.dial.pipex.com
(text only) is ace, and has been since they introduced it 6 months ago odd.
Unless you still think nntp is the best source for porn / mp3s / porn /
cr@kz etc etc

 

Porl was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Andrews & Arnold - http://www.aaisp.net.uk/

 

Us non dialup pikeys use the text dsl server.

 

So reboot before you start ;-)

I'm not sure they're not the same machine - but I was getting better
response from the dial server earlier this year, so that's what I still

news-text.dial.pipex.com CNAME text-readers.news.pipex.net
news-text.dsl.pipex.com CNAME text-readers.news.pipex.net

In other words; same 'pooters, different name.

Pipex are okay though if you just want an ADSL connection.

No. Bloody marvellous. I wondered why it was so slow. Ta.

Didn't do a dig on that one, silly me.

 

that's pretty much my experience too - I think it's only "south of the
river" types that have problems.

 

say no more - that's a crying shame.

 

I'm north, beatch.

 

a.k.a. "know-nothing weirdos".

Access to a different news service would be even better.

 

Windows philosophy. Works for me.

 

I thought that too. Made me smile.

 

And me. And, apparently, there is at least one ukrmer who keeps a
Glock in his glovebox...
