Need recommendation for European NNTP server

Post by tiwas »

Hi,
Anyone got any good recommendations? Obviously, I'm looking for something dirt cheap with the best possible service :p

I don't really need too long retention, though 6 months might be good. For speed - as long as I can squeeze out 5Mb I'll be more than happy.

Cheers!

Most offerings are per country, especially the loweer priced ones.
So "European" isn't much use.
State your country if you want any usable suggestions.

Unfortunately, ipv6 seems to be blocked. Could be the shitty router I have, but...I probably have to go for a paid nntp server, and €2.5 isn't too bad :)

Thanks!

Tried contacting lightninghouse, but the email bounced. That's a bad sign ;)

How about getting IPv6 to work? Which OS do you use?

Who's lightninghouse? And why mail them?

Anyway: I just created an account with lightningusenet, paid 2.50 Euro via Paypal, and I'm downloading via them. Seems to work. Interesting ...
