News.individual.net now to charge a fee
Have been following uk.re.waterways via news.individual.net as had problems
via ntl. Now they advised --Dear users of News.Individual.NET, effective from April 1th, 2005, use of News.Individual.NET will not be free of charge anymore. The news service will continue as a fee-based service. --- Any suggestions re other alternative routes rather than returning to ntl. Advice appreciated. Charles |

Shan't bother with them again. It's a totally legit server. I've downloaded the NG list with no problems.
