Yeah Steve I did the same thing. I reminded them since they have been
providing the service for free along with my internet service, I should
expect a lower bill after July. Like you I expect a quick response to my
issue (yeah right!!!)

AT&T provided usenet by farming it out to giganews and claiming it was
gratis. The refused to take responsibility for it and claimed they
never charged for it, so their customers never were owed a rate
reduction.

ISPs having been striving to rid themselves of this non revenue
generating albatross for years. Only a few hardy holdouts are left.
Quit complaining and buy an independent service. I pay $3 for 5G of
download. Since I only frequent about a dozen newsgroups, should last
me about 7-8 yrs.
