I suddenly seem to have some problem getting to any URL, with either my usual browser, Firefox, or IE6. Yet I can get my email - and hopefully post this Usenet message. -- Terry, West Sussex, UK

Looking at tarifs etc on our one-and-only broadband supplier web site (Karoo), they are stating that part of their management strategy is to throttle the use of newsgroups. Why do these use such high band width? Is it because some users subscribe to hundreds of groups? If I only subscribe to say 6 groups, will that still represent high bandwidth - if so, why? TIA

Hello, I currently have Virgin.Net running from BT via a Netgear ADSL DG 834 modem/router (with 3 PCs connected) and NIC, and I am considering changing over to Virgin Media Broadband via Cable, they supply a Motorola modem with the install, but as I understand it I will need a cable router, as you cant use an ADSL router, is this correct? If so The router I plan to get would be the Netgear...

I have been happily using the Netgear DG834 (and the 814 before it) for many years. I now need a facility it does not have and would be grateful for advice for a good, reliable, reasonably priced alternative. I use the port-forwarding feature a lot (20+ entries). The DG834 is limited in that you cannot alter the outgoing port to be different from the incoming port.

I have changed the...
