You're going thru NTHell (NTL) aren't you?

Try:

news.virgin.net
news.ntlworld.com

No log-on, default settings etc.  Both one in the same I think (ie. point to
same new servers) tho virgin.net may for some unknown reason respond/work
more often.  If they don't work then you may need AOL's specific news addy
if they route you thru whatever way you connect with them.  Dunno nowt else
bout AOL tho, soz.
