I guess it's flown below the radar? Presumably the signal to noise ratio of usenet has improved in the ten years since I gave up on it - perhaps because all the spam-encouraging eyeballs went somewhere else. Still, I can well imagine that Xtra's "broadband" offerings would be useful for reading usenet, but really not for much else... certainly my SSH connections have improved no end since I canned my very-much-A DSL connection. So, just for interest's sake, what's up with Xtra and usenet? Time for another beer, I think. Cheers, Andrew.
