Comcast Discontinues Customers' USENET Service

An anonymous reader writes "Comcast has discontinued its provided usenet service, once provided to all its high speed customers. First with the cap put on its customers several years ago on amount of traffic provided as part of the customer high-speed package, as of September 16, the service is no longer provided. Without fanfare, this bastion of the internet is being removed from the mainstream."

if thats not mainstream I don't know what is. Just because you perhaps don't use it...

E-mail is mainstream. USENET is fringe, and these days nearly useless. Unless you're looking for porn. Which I bet is what you use it for.
