German server to start charging

Oh aye, I was forgetting you guys still use the old money.

 

YTC.

 

I'll be trying out Zen's news server for the foreseeable future, at
a grand zero pence a month.

 

Before you try the Zen news server have a look in the zen.* newsgroups
about its poor performance over the last few months.

Hmm I was considering moving over to Zen.

 

Maybe the server has an introductory 2 for 1 offer.

 

It's working fine for me so far.

 

I pay for claranews. I've been back on Der Deutsch for a few weeks,
because clara's a little bit slow. I'll go back to clara.

 

I use Clara as an ISP and have done for the past few years, they've had
bad points, but generally work ok. It's just that with Zen I can get
1Mbit for the price of 512K on clara..

 

I just did. At least with a paid-for service the registration waas
instant, better then the hanging around awaiting a login like they
used to do. For the amount I've downloaded from them over the past
five years, 10euro is a small price to pay.

 

Rarely do things with binaries, but I quite like the idea of getting a
nice little '/29' block of IP's so all my kit can have real internet
addresses, which is something they do for no extra cost.

If it's ok for the text newsgroups that'll do me fine.

sending wasn't going to be paid they told us they had closed the
account and disconnected the line. I've just got another bill...

Very prompt and courteous too, in emails (except when binning you off,
of course).

Pardon me if I'm confused. Your bird seemed very nice to me.

Is there another reason you'd be worried about Usenet binaries?

Just asking, y'understand.

Ah. I've never been one to give a damn about binaries newsgroups. Should
