For users of this service, and news.fu-berlin.de, there is a reshuffle
happening with regard to its name and operation at Berlin University.

For personal users, it will become news.individual.net

All existing logins remain valid, but update your server address at
your convenience. Their website for registrations is now
http://news.individual.net/

Again, current usernames and passwords remain valid and the core
service will not be changing.

I used to use news.cis.dfn.de at work and ntl news servers at home.
ntl have become so bad recently that I have started using
news.individual.net (as it now is) at home. If you are not concerned
about binaries I would thoroughly recommend it.

Thanks for the info. I think this may explain why I've been suffering server
outages over the last few days. I wonder why they didn't email their customers
directly about this?

It seems that some ISP users (notably NTL) have had problems accessing the server - I haven't noticed any problems myself (yet!).

I would doubt this is the reason as the servers are identical still.

Both [news.cis.dfn.de] and [news.individual.net] point to the same server
with IP address 130.133.1.4 - as does [news.fu-berlin.de]

I imagine it is possible this will change in the near future though.
