They are using the "they did it" excuse. So my
newsgroup service is going
bye bye. The greed never stops.
To be fair, I would dump their ass for another company if I
could. I guess
I am greedy too. Just you wait Comcast!
This group really saved me lots of pain and suffering.

If you are still around there are a number of free or
inexpensive
Usenet providers that you could still get to. Especially if you
don't do
a lot of binaries. I have no personal background with any of
these, so
buyer beware, but a quick Google picked up:
www.freeusenet.org
www.newzbot.com
www.newsgroupreviews.com
But how many of those allow you to post through them? My experience
(some time ago, I admit) was that all the free providers were basically
"read-only", and that you had to pay $$ in order to post.
I'm obviously a little late to the thread (just registered here), but I
would recommend Newsguy.com for anyone that is looking for a reliable
newsgroup provider.
They have accounts as low as $3/month that allow 10GB of monthly
downloads, unlimited posting, NNTP newsreader & Web access, newsgroup
search engine, and 5 email boxes if you don't want to post with your ISP
or company email address.
They're rated highly at most of the review sites (
http://newsadmin.com,
etc.) and they have a free trial so you can check them out before buying
an account. I've been happy with them, and they may be worth a look.
