#244136 — Usenet access.

Hi,

Can anyone suggest an alternative to Google Groups for access to 
sci.electronics.repair.  I'd be happy to pay a small subscription for 
access without tedious complications.

Thx,           ... P.

Depends on usage. Note the paid subscriptions often do a data block
plan which they may not advertise prominently. I use about one 10GB
block a year:

https://www.tweaknews.eu/en/usenet-plans

I did use NewsDemon, with which I was very happy, until one day it just
stopped working with my setup and I was unable to restore a connection.

https://www.newsdemon.com/usenet-access

Note that some block plans expire after a time limit.

  i really liked individual.net and gladly paid them for
the service, it wasn't much, but then they stopped taking
overseas payments so i had to find another service.

  eternal-september works well for my use now, but it does
have hiccups here or there.  so it's good to be patient
and go read a book or something here or there.

They will take PayPal internationally; I don't know if it's
worthwhile for you to deal with PayPal just for them, though.

for me change i'll look into it.

What kind of hiccups? I haven't noticed but I see in my Gnus config file
there have been issues connecting via SSL in 2014 and 2017 but even then
the plain connection worked fine.

  some periods of time where i couldn't post or times
when there were no articles coming in.  eventually it
gets resolved.

What sort of hiccups?  It's been years and years since I've noticed any
sort of outage.

https://www.eternal-september.org is a private, but free text-only
Usenet service. It offers the sci.* hierarchy and carries the group you
want.
