- Sky News Server
- Posted by Keith Willcocks on November 1st, 2006
Funny how things repeat themselves. I asked about whether Orange had a
news server the other day and got a very quick response. Now my daughter
has just gone onto Sky and is asking the same question. Do Sky have a news
server and, if so, what is it called?

That is text only IIRC.
For ~£6 you can buy 25G from astraweb.
For text only that would probably last for years especially as headers are
free.

Nope, no News Servers at $ky, 10 euros/year will get you access to
news.individual.net's text only servers though, and if she's into binaries,
I would recommend Astraweb's pay-as-you-go services.

Thanks for the prompt responses. It is the same as Orange which I more or
less suspected would be the case.

Yes, I'd back that choice, and they currently charge $25 for 90 GB
in case anyone wants binaries as well... www.news.astraweb.com

news.readfreenews.net (www.readfreenews.net) is still free but their sign-up
page has been unavailable for months now.

Thanks for all the responses. Question answered several times over and
some useful tips as well.
