said by docbg  :Has anyone been able to activate with NewsHosting? Check if your spam filters trapped the response. I have it registered and functioning fine - 10 mins effort.
FWIW - the 256K d/l speed limit is a pain - I monitor a woodworking pictures group and some folks post 'huge' files so it takes 5 mins to see someone's nice coffee table :-( |

Nope, nothing. No e-mails in spam/junk folder. I signed up twice with 2 different e-mail addresses - same result - nothing.
Contacted tech support and so far, he's not much help. Tells me to sign up again. I tell him it won't let me... Running around in circles. He doesn't seem to be addressing the issue: no activation e-mail sent! |

Granby, Qc | Tried it, you can only register with @sympatico email box, the IP is just to verify that you connect yourself from bell's network (Bell's ip pool). |

Re: Sympatico will end usenet service on May 25
Yes, I used both of my @sympatico.ca addresses. I even used my @hotmail.com address. Also tried 3 different IPs (65.x, 67.x and 69.x) and no go.
I gave up and got a free TeraNews account for now - may upgrade to a better package later. |
