Common News Problems

The most common problems customers experience with authenticating with the

Speakeasy News service are caused by:

 Not typing your username out as username@speakeasy.net

 Not having a password setup for News service. In this situation, you will need to

contact Speakeasy Customer Support so that a password can be created for

you.

 Not selecting the option in your newsreader that states, My ISP requires

Authentication.

For additional help, or to request a newsgroup to be added to the news feed, please

submit your question using Tech Support as the selected service and Email, Webmail,

and News as the sub-service.
