Blueyonder's Usenet service is crap anyhow. Loads of damaged files
and oly a few days retention.

Your better off with the cheapest 2 meg line service and an account
with newshosting.

It's not for me, it's for a mate.
They charge too much and have changed everything so the money mounts up.
Not interested )

If that is true, then why don't you state that on the page?
Is it cuz you want people to believe that they have to buy the highest
price package to be able to get access?

A simple Yes or No, will do.

Please see my response to the other query - this service is largely
demanded by customers interested in our highest speed tier, and hence
it's advertised accordingly on the website.

I'd welcome your thoughts on how we actually could remove access to
other tiers without enforcing NNTP Authentication, which we haven't
done.

Thanks

I don't know where you got that idea from.
And even if it were true, what does it matter if, accordin to you (only
those who spend more want access to usenet)?
The person who did that page, was he told (leave out the bit about
gettin access to usenet, cuz they wouldn't be interested anyway)?
