Default Off Topic - Comcast Newsgroups Alternatives

I know that we have had this discussion before. But now that I am facing a
newsgroup amputation, I am getting a bit upset.

Any suggestions for an alternative newserver? Preferably something that
doesn't cost too much.

Thanks.



When Time Warner did away with USENET we (wife and I) went with Astra Web Pay
as you go plan http://www.news.astraweb.com/ $10 for 25 gig. We have had it for
several months now and have no complaints. We are fairly heavy users of USENET,
but light on the binary groups. I look at woodworkers and train binary. Our use
to date is 17,602,130 bytes (0.02 GB) As you see a little goes a long way.

They just started a new plan also for 110GB $25.00

Hope this helps
