Since I moved to broadband I haven't been able to access the virgin.* 
newsgroups. I tried changing from news.virgin.net to 
text.news.ntlworld.com but that doesn't help. They just aren't listed as 
options to subscribe to.

It's not critical since there are so few postings in those newsgroups 
now, but has anyone got any hints?

John,

That is odd indeed as everything just carried on working here. You could
try text.news.virgin.net but if the others don't work I doubt this will.
I do recall not always being able to get them when on dial-up and it was
once suggested that this was due to the server thinking you were an NTL
customer rather than a Virgin one. Never did find out the truth of this however.

Sorry,

Alec

I can only get virgin.chat at the moment...every so often I can access the
others for a while then they all disappear again...Very strange!
