OT: Demon Internet newsgroups

[Bill]

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but if anyone else has stayed with Britain's first and once good ISP, this is the announcement they made almost silently 2 days ago.

" October 29, 2014

Please be aware that the Demon Usenet News service accessed via news.demon.co.uk will be withdrawn on 31st October 2014.

I also use Eternal September and sometimes the Pan newsreader, so it's just a nuisance. Vodaphone are the current disinterested owners. Sell, sell, sell, and never buy anything from them.

I was with Demon for around 8/9 years and ditched them around 2000. Every ISP I've used since has been better UNTIL they also changed ownership.

I was informed a few months ago, by someone I know that works for Demon, that some major changes were in the pipeline. Staff were wishing for favourable redundancy packages.
