I vote changing to a Big 8, although the guys that grant permission
to start a new group are pricks.

Change ISPs. Your connectivity provider does not have to be your ISP.

Huh? Do you mean, "Your connectivity provider does not have to be your
*NSP* (news service provider)"?

I'm connected to the internet via Comcast, but my ISP is Earthlink.

Your news server is Giganews.

Verizon is not PREVENTING access to the alt. hierarchy, they are
simply not PROVIDING it.

To OP...

Many free text only news reading services, few read *AND* post ones. Check
via Google.

Some inexpensive NSPs both read and post. Binaries too in some cases...
