>Retention is HORRIBLE,you have to keep checking every 6 hours or you miss a post.
True and even then, guys I checked over the weekend with my external usenet provider and nntp is missing a truckload of posts. out of 10 post's I made in various newsgroups trough nntp only 1 showed up on my external usenet provider which has a weeks retention and %98 completion.
I did a check on a 3/day retention and nntp was missing at lest 3/4 of the post's. I'd say that nntp is running on a 3/day retention and between %10-%25 completion. Truly lame if you ask me.
My opinion on Rogers is that their own network is not finished and they need pay out the cheapest bandwitdth rental to collect the most Ca$h possible in order to finish paying their own network. In the meantime we the paying customers are being stiffed with the Walmart of internet service, the cheapest their is in order for Rogers to get cash. (nearly on par with Sympatico). in the meantime we has to suffer this lame service.
