Signs of the times

Dear Comcast High-Speed Internet Customer:

As of October 25, 2008, the complimentary Comcast Newsgroups service,
powered by Giganews, will be discontinued. This feature provided customers
access to 2 gigabytes of newsgroup information on a monthly basis. After
this date, these customers will no longer be able to access the Comcast
Newsgroups service through Comcast. Customers who have subscribed directly
to Giganews for newsgroup access will not be affected by this change.

While we have seen a decline in popularity of newsgroups as customers have
chosen to get information from other sources, we know a small percentage of
our customers continue to use newsgroups today. If you are interested in
continuing to access newsgroups, Giganews is offering a special promotion
for Comcast customers. Click here to learn more.

Thank you for being a valued customer.

RoadRunner pulled the same stunt.

I use a cheap service called "usenetmonster". It works pretty well.
