I've had ADSL with them for about 18 months, and have seen the service improve over that time. Most of the bumps in their service were ironed out months ago, and they are now on the verge of providing the best Usenet service of any UK ISP, (nothing to stop you using your CIS.DFN.DE account though if you prefer!). Their prices are competitive, they are quick to fix things when something goes wrong, and they are excellent when it comes to listening to and communicating with their users. You can take a look at the services available by logging in at the PlusNet Portal at: http://portal.plus.net/my.html Log in using 'guest' and 'guest' for username and password. They also operate a "Referrals scheme" whereby you receive a small discount for each person who takes up your reccomendation for most of their accounts. I've taken the liberty of emailing you my Username, which if you decide to join PlusNet, you might care to enter during the application process :-) Pasted below is an announcement made by PlusNet on 9th December 2003. ---------------------------------------------------------- We would like to bring you up to date with our current progress and plans for our Usenet (Newsgroups) service. We are aware that, over the last few months, the service has deteriorated somewhat, as has been documented in the service status section of our portal. We recently took temporary measures to resolve a problem whereby delays were being experienced when posting new articles. The original problem was caused by the failure of our primary news server following a storage upgrade. As a result of the growth in demand for our Usenet service, primarily from heavy users of the ADSL service, the secondary server alone could not cope. The solution identified (involving the use of a proxy server) has resulted in a number of unforeseen issues, including a latency when viewing articles and downloading messages. We are now in a position where both Usenet servers are fully functional and during this week we will be moving back to our original two server configuration. This should resolve the current issues with regard to unresponsiveness of the server. What has now become apparent is that our existing Usenet platform is no longer capable of supporting the demands placed upon it. This is both as a result of the significant increase in our Broadband userbase and also because Usenet itself has continued to grow exponentially. A 'good' binary newsfeed now requires at least 700GB of new data per day. This data must be collected and stored by our news platform. The limitations of our current Usenet platform mean we cannot currently take this amount of news. We can now announce that a project is underway to overhaul our current Usenet platform. This will include the installation of higher specification equipment and additional servers. We will also be replacing the current Usenet server software (which we have used, without change, for some 5 years) with a newer, much more efficient, software solution. Work has already started on building the new Usenet platform and the estimated completion date for this is February 2004. Once the installation is completed, it will take a further month for the news-servers to collect complete article listings and as such our target date for launch of the new Usenet platform is March 2004. We believe our target will be easily achievable and work is already well underway, with much of the required equipment, ordered specifically for the overhaul, having been delivered already. Once the new platform is operational, we expect to offer a vastly improved Usenet service. While, as we have stated before, we do not aim to compete with the premium subscription based Usenet providers, we are confident that following the overhaul we will be able to offer a newsgroup service which is as good as, if not better than, any other provided by a UK ISP. -------------------------------------------------------------- Rob |

I use cis.dfn.de for my news as well. I like the one month contract, so if they do go downhill it will be easy to move. Tech support seems to be good, only used it once. HTH |
