Hi,

(example, kiis102 @btopenworld.com or something similar) I have emailed them so im waiting for a responce but i thought id ask on here anyways, i want to use BT newsgroups :|

No, you must register with BT!Yahoo or BT Broadband in order to get a @btopenworld.com/@btyahoo.co.uk e-mail address.

Looks like you can pay for one without using them as your ISP.

http://www.btopenworld.com/mail, guess it depends on how much you want it.

I got an @btinternet.com email. Dont think BT do @BTYahoo.co.uk emails anymore.

Darren

but will signing upto that give me BT(giganews) newsgroup access?

No you have to be a BT Total Broadband customer. Newsgroup access is authenticated through a BT connection not BT email address.

alrighty, thanks

If you want giganews access, pay for it.


I enjoy my ISP's news server, it's rather good and free.

dont wana pay lol :P NTL newsgroup access is ok but cant access the main ones like alt.binaries.tv ¬_¬ at the mo i just download stargate which i can get but god help me when battlestar galactica,smallville and desperate housewives start :\

Then, as they say, tough.

(giganews is hardly expensive - only £12/mo for unlimited downloading, and it can pretty much max out your connection all the time, incredible retention too)
