I am on cable and the cable company Rogers, and Yahoo have started a
service for which users have to pay extra and they make it impossible
(try to) to use the newsgroups, where they are not allowed to put all
their advertising in.

I googled this and saw some of the controversy.
I tried to find info on their services, but failed.

I found a page on free usenet servers

At worst case, you can spend $10 a month and get a commercial service.
