cyberbillny Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi guys, I have some questions about Binary Newsgroup, hopefully someone here will be kind enough to share his knowledge. I am moving to Bangkok (from USA) very soon and was wondering about Usenet or Newsgroup access in Thailand. Usenet/Newsgroup is where I get all of my information needs here in the US, i.e., missed TV shows, radio programs, etc. I am currently subscribed to Giganews, who claims that they provide service in Asia. However, I heard that Thailand actually blocks some websites and there seems to be only a few Binary Newsgroup about Thailand. This leads me to feel uncertain if Usenet/Newsgroup access is entirely blocked or simply not available. Question 1: Is there access to Usenet/Newgroup in Thailand ? Anyone here use Usenet/Newgroup in Thailand ? Question 2: If Usenet/Binary newsgroup is accessible, will I be able to access and download from all groups or some groups are not accessible? Question 3: If Usenet/Newsgroup is not available in Thailand, does anyone know any alternative for Binary downloading? Thank you very much.

rogerdee123 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I've got my favorite usenet groups on a tab/folder on my browser (safari) but when I want to look at a new one I just type the usenet group name (i.e. ..... soc.culture.thai ) into google search and go from there. What's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaPete Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) I have been using Giganews for years here in Thailand. No problem at all. All groups can be accessed. Edited February 9, 2009 by PattayaPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberbillny Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks everyone for all replies. - For all of us here who have complete access to usenet binary newsgroup, would you mind sharing which ISP you are using? - I'll be in Bangkok and people told me TRUE is the dominant ISP. Does anyone know if TRUE block/ban any usenet binary groups, or all groups accessible. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
