I had cox about a year ago still...they had completely hosed any value by having a retention policy of about 4 minutes. I think eventually usenet services are going to go away from being offered by the ISP and being a seperate add on. Too bad for the users. On the flipside, I know from experience with cox and now qwest tech support, their own in house help rarely even knows what usenet is and most users have no clue either. Mention of IRC or Usenet and their eyes glaze over.

I've been using Forte's service for the past couple of months as well. Cox's usent feed had slowed down to the point where it took hours to down load all the groups I follow. I tried the Forte's free trial and am quite happy with the service.
