OT: Has anybody succeeded in subscribing to Individual.Net?

[PeteCresswell]

Some months ago I tried, but couldn't get past ClickAndPay - desipite
swallowing reservations about opening up my credit card to automated
annual charges.

Today I tried again. For starters, screens started out in English,
then changed to German and clicking "Back" aborted the entire process -
losing all data on the previous screen.

Is it just me?

GigaNews looks kind of pricey...

Any recommendations for alternatives?

<http://cust.readfreenews.net/> Still free. Fast, many, many groups. Good
overall performance as far as I can judge. I'm not affiliated with them. Just a
happy supscriber (yes, you have to subscrivbe. But they do not really want to
know who you are )

Probably not, but I know tons of people that use NIN. As do I.

Just registered with them and subscribed to my normal groups. Looks ok!

Since Individual.Net went subscription I've been using my ISP's (Pipex) news
server which is ok but terribly slow. I post to a newsgroup then go and have
a cup of tea and see if it has arrived yet!

After registering with readfreenews (which is quick and painless!) I posted
a test message to via my ISP's news server. It came up pretty
much straightaway on readfreenews. Still not arrived on Pipex yet...

I think I have just found my latest new news server! Thanks for the pointer
Barbara!

Cheers,
