NTL Newsgroups upgrade?

I've asked this in the New speeds thread but got no reply.

With NTL's latest upgrades, will they be adding all the newsgroups like Telewest already provide?

Ahh no, probably not

They are currently on completely seperate networks. I would say that in the furture though that they will eventualy be on the same server farm. It not like virgin, or tesco, wnere they are already on the ntl network.

Plus they won't want to encourage downloading of copyrighted material by adding back all the DVD groups, so if they DO upgrade it won't include any of the larger 'questionable' binary groups.
