started using Supernews.
Much more civilized and reliable.

Supernews supplies a large number of ISPs. I got an account with them
about 18 months ago and love it. Incredible retention, no service
outages. Well worth the cost, for me.

Supernews is the best - besides the retention and the uptime,
they have a very effective spam filter, and because their admins
actually care about Usenet, they also filter trolls and other
impediments to civilized discourse.

Newsguy is also good with respect to spam filtering, etc. But
they have a thin pipe to the outside world, so they're slow as
molasses for binaries.

Giganews is good if you really care about binaries, but they're
weaker about keeping the discussion groups clean.

Altopia is good if you are or like trolls.
