I guess to make bandwidth available for their crappy digital phone
service.

It's Comcastic!


I hope there's a community backlash. Comcast charges way too much to be
cutting back features and leaving prices unchanged.

Any good, free newsgroup services?


Yes, as well as some that provide superior service at modest cost.


Verizon eliminated all Newsgroups other than the Big 8 some time ago,
and other have been doing similar things.

No cheers for those abandoning service to their Usenet users.
