I use Comcast at home and at work, so I'll still have access to the alt.*

going to cancel that as soon as Verizon stops the alt.* access, and I'll
let them know that is why I am cancelling (I know they don't care,
especially since they have FIOS now in many areas).

I understand that TeraNews ( http://teranews.com ) has a free newsgroup
service (with just a one-time $3.95 setup fee) that allows 50 MB of
download
per day. I don't know what 50 MB per day translates into as far a
newsgroup usage, but it's an option.

Either all of Verizon is going to Google or we have to pick a Big 8.

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


I have been using news.motzarella.org for a couple of days and it's free.
You have to register and I don't believe alt.binaries are offered. But it
seems all newsgroup servers will be dropping them. You will need to setup
your newsreader of course, but it took me a whole 10 minutes to complete
that including searching for the newsgroups I wanted to add.

Good Luck
