Re: PlusNet usenet service any good ?

They say that the news service is provided by PlusNet.

I wonder if the service announcements that Plus.Net provides for
users goes to NDO and whether they pass them on to their users.

I have little that's good to say about Plus.Net in the same
sentence as "news service". I have at least two other accounts
with other services, if that's enough of an indicator. They did
suggest some wish to provide a great service but there's little I
have seen in the past 18 months to convince me that it's getting
anywhere near the reliability of other services. I've suggested
they outsource the binaries to make the text-only service work
reliably, but the staff tend to use web-based forums for chat
and don't respond very much within their own newsgroups (yes
they do respond, from time to time, but studiously avoid some
questions, or maybe questioners!) Peter M.
