Anyone know any good pay providers in the UK?

This wont work for me. I tried both addresses for my ISP, and it still said "cannot connect.."

I have NTL and the newsgroup is news.ntlworld.com.

I have forwarded the port in my router and the speeds are ace. All 8 slots are available and the speeds are as near to max as makes no difference, I have a 1500kB connection. I noticed that I could use more of my bandwidth when I opened all the available slots, make sure you have done this as well as forwarding the relevant port.

I have just downloaded circa 250 Mb in a 37 mins.

Cheers for the guide.

Im glad you approve...

Iv got the same Net connection as you. NTL has good retention wit about 6-7 days but the groups it has they do no contain all the headers that a pay server (giganews) does. And NTL is lacking some Console and DVDR groups. I manage to get a 700mb file in 1 hour 3 mins aprox and can do about 16gb a day on newsgroups.
