Why are people moaning about their provider on a Newsgroup?
There is nothing the other readers can do to help them, especially when
they are, say, from Europe so why bother them?
Complaints should be sent to your provider and if you are unhappy about
service provided, change providers. Should be easy (at least in the
Netherlands it is).

You'd have to go back to the start of the thread. Someone was looking for
a new ISP for the very reason stated by "Stretch" - bad service. Here in
Australia, we have several providers, but I've always found Bigpond to be
the best (I was also with Optus once-upon-a-time).

And now many of the Aussie ISP's aren't even providing newsgroup access
either. Your options are rather limited when your whole population is on 20
million people. 300 million people in the US or Europe gives your a lot more
buying choice.

I've been enjoying 'ac249''s series from NNAM Pensacola. but only about 50%
of his pictures are turning up, which is normal with Optus these days. Are
you getting a limited amount or the whole lot at bigpond?
