    No. That is like asking even though I have Sky email, can I use BTs mail servers.

    This was the first Google result for 'newsgroup guide': http://www.slyck.com/ng.php

    I D/L from http://nzbmatrix.com there are plenty of banners with different newsgroups I use Astraweb it all depends on what you want ect in terms of retention and things. I use sky through a BT line and have never had any probs, its pretty straight forward to set up thru grabit .

    You can connect to any newsgroup servers you like, as long as the company that operates them will grant you access. If you are a Sky broadband customer, there is no reason for BT to give you access. If you hit the referrers board, there will likely be people there who will refer you to someone like Giganews or Newshosting (it will cost you, although it isn't that expensive).
