I currently have Aliant Hi-Speed which is roughly 1.5mbps down and 480 or 640kbps upload *think they slowed it down*.
I like to read newsgroups (usenet) even though ROGERS deems them outdated and useless and has discontinued their free access to a usenet server as part of their internet package.
Aliant still has news.aliant.net available for free to their customers.
My questions is, could someone with Rogers Hi-Speed try that usenet/newsgroup server and see if they can access it freely?
If it is possible, then I'm probably going to switch to Rogers.
For nearly the same money, Rogers is offering 7.0mbps down and 512kbps up. That's a lot faster than Aliant, esp. since I think Aliant has decreased their upload speed from 640kbps to 480 or 512kbps.
Please let me know. I'll be watching this thread.
